When you look closely, Venice is a city of decaying timbers, peeling

paint and crumbling mortar. But that is not how you experience it or

how I remember it. Its architecture, waters ways and bridges are so

magical that you see only a theater of wonderment and beauty. I feel

compelled to present my images of Venice as paintings because I think

in some enchanting way that’s how Venice presents itself. Comments

and critique appreciated.

This composition has worked out well Wayne. Your 'painting filter' is done well. Not overdone, but gives it an appealing softness. I like how the colours remain 'true'. Well done Wayne. Artistic Creation that is so appealing.

kind regards, Gail

Gail,

Thanks for you insightful comments.  You hit upon a primary focus of my attempts to paint with photography - giving particular attention to lost and found edges.  In this image, losing edges of peeling paint, etc. but maintaining edges of the more solid structures.  Balancing and harmonizing the hues of a painting/photograph is sometimes a struggle too.

What a wonderful painterly image.  The light on the men's shirts draws the viewer's eye right into the composition to the blue sky in the back, where the eye rests before moving on to the flowers over the door.

Lynne,

Much appreciated.  You read it as I attempted to "paint" it.  Appreciation of your work by a fellow artist is most gratifying.

Wayne! a beautiful composition,almust no distortion.Contrast-color-lighting very nice ,but I have a little note left in the photo,I see a black line in the window,I find disturbing you’d have gone clonen.I think only black stripe is difficult,but if you have the black stripe and window away cloont you just a piece of the wall instead of a window Best regards janegbert

Janegbert,

Thanks for commenting and your detail attention to this image.  I kind of studied it like a painter too.  Not sure I know exactly which black line and window.  The only thing I thought about cloning but did not was the tip of the gondola peeking out from the left.  If this is the line you are talking about, I agree, it bothered me some too.

Janegbert,

It probably was not a difficult cloning job.  In studying painters "of old", I begin to find some obvious flaws that were so obvious they had to be done intentionally.  I began to agree with their choices.  That bit of imperfection is sometimes an appealing touch.
