I like because its a beautiful shot. I like it because its a beautiful place. And I like it because its my kind of photography.

It was my choice to leave in the gate which added a lateral movement to the image, conecting the two halfs of the image, into one instead of just another venice canal shot. To another comment , yes the original print is just a bit lighter which looks much better than the web shot. thank you all for you kind comments.

 

UP DATE: More about the shot. I work all my images in Photoshop. Some just a little some a lot. This image was worked alot, to bing out the texture of the bricks and color of the building and sky and reflections. For me it captures the feeling I wanted to remember and express. I generaly like my images on the dark side with rich color and strong blacks. I like a feel of mystery or something hidden in the images I like the best. I am not a pro or photoshop master (long way to go for that) And I have been back into Photograph since 1999. After a 30yr break. I am a studio potter by trade for some 27 years. Photography was my first love back in my teen years. It feels good to have come full circle

Very nice colours. The dark sky in the background makes the picture a bit sinister. Did you digitally enhance the picture afterwards?

I love the colors also, but personally, I still think it would work better without the gate, if somehow it could have been shot through a hole in the fence, leaving the boat in the foreground. Probably not possible, though! I agree about the colors - very painterly.

This shot is an ad for Fuji Provia. I like the gate not only because it unifies the two sides of the shot, but because it introduces the viewer into the scene. It adds to the feeling that I'm standing there on that terrace.

Strong composition, impressive sky. My first impression was that it would work better in b&w - but I've been looking at a lot of b&w lately so that might just be what my eye is keyed into just now

It makes me study the photograph. It makes me provide attention to what's going on in the front as well the back. Without it my eye would just be led to the bright background and sky. That would still be a nice shot, but I like it this way. Good work.

Great shot, I think the sky with clouds on the background provides good depth, colors are great. I like the bridge as well: good foreground object that gets the attention of the viewer and ties the shot together.

My first reaction was that it looked very much like a painting. Very interesting colors and I,too, like deep, saturated colors. Vertically, the approximate width of the gate, also makes a nice image.

Lovely scene, nicely exposed. It looks as if there are bows of boats behind the fencing. Wouldn't this have been a better picture if you'd have stepped forward to remove the fence from the foreground?

I love the way the sky looks and you did an excellent job getting the crammed quarters of the canals.
