Grand Canal , Venice

Several steps in adjusting this shot until I (?) ended up with a pleasing effect. No

Gondolas ? Heresy ! Thanks for your feedback and comments

Maybe its my monitor, the highlights look too hot, blown out, too bright and the shadows look too dark, dense, or heavy. The texture of the water and stucco walls are gone. When compared to your other Italy shots, this one stands out as ouch while the others go aaaahh. What effect or impression were you trying to achieve with the post-capture processing?
