Sunlight pours between the columns lining San Marco Piazza

I took this shot around lunch time near San Marco Duomo in Venice.

I was shooting a store window with white balance set for tungsten

when I turned and saw the light through the pillars. I forgot to set

the balance back so corrected it in PS later only to discover I

prefered the cool blue cast so I left it alone.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Darren

The sunshine contrasting the shadows was the first thing that got my attention to this photograph. When the larger version loaded up my first thought was "they forgot to set the white balance" and I was going to take points away for that. Then I read the comment you left, and the color cast grew on me. The only thing that I would change would be the distracting people (upper right) but even they could be there as a point of reference. All in all a very well composed image. Cudos.
