Morning at San Giorgio Maggiore

This image is a re-post adjusted to show better on the web. The first

post displayed too darkly to reveal the tranquility and silence of

early morning on this Venetian lagoon. Comments and critique appreciated.

Better viewed large.

Yes,is better seen an mood of a peaceful  morning  day is evident form this,boats that wait another day for ride.

Excellent light and mood, well captured.

Nicely composed with the building spire between the anchor posts! 

The low light mood and sense of tranquility are almost tangible! 

Best Regards 

Alf 

Wayne,

  Beautiful scene with wonderful lighting & peaceful mood.  Take care, Patsy

Radu,

Many thanks.  It was beautiful quiet morning with the only things moving were the photographers and street sweepers.

Chris,

Thanks.  That morning alone was worth the trip to Italy.

Alf,

Many thanks.  You were very kind and benevolent when I first posted this.  You knew I had not properly adjusted the image for viewing on the Web.  I've learn to temper my critique of posts taking into account how the image probably looks in raw, tiff or other format on the artist's computer.

Patsy,

Many thanks.  Sometimes it is difficult to predict how an image that looks good on your monitor will show when posted on the web.

Wayne,  Beautiful place to visit and you've done really well on this one.  Really good!

Wonderful scene and mood especially as Gondola's convey a sense of romance.  I am glad that you did not lighten the foreground too much because I think what you have here is more effective and perhaps more realistic.

Hi Wayne. This is a beautiful composition with gondolas in the foreground. The panoramic format is perfect here.

Kind Regards,

Rosario.
