The Serenade

Those masters of the Venetian painting technique could dazzle with their ability to make a painting glow but what intrigues me most were their whimsical play with light – to place light in unexpected places and from unknown sources. My light placement is more accidental than planned when mimicking their style.

very beautiful.i like it a lot.

It sure is a magical place, nice composition and presentation.

Amazing scene with fairy tale processing. It almost seems to be a dream. Excellent work. Take care,...............Patsy

Another spectacular take on the canals of Venice and, better still, the activity they inspire . . . The tiny bursts of highlights compliment the rich colors in this amazing night shot.- - michael - - (PS, you may want to look at the images for posted for critique.)

Wayne,

The Serenade-beautiful one,

Stunning work!

ZT,

Thanks, Mehmet. Your kind comments are appreciated.

Thanks, George. I get fascinated by the place.

Thanks, Patsy. I was shooting for that kind of mood.

Thanks, Michael. I've been working on trying to create the illusion of glow and unexpected light

Many thanks, ZT.

Wayne...another exquisite shot with your masterful touch.Your instinct to select the best POV would make one wonder that you might be a re-incarnated Venetian who has seen this city from its best angles.Good work!Salutations-Laurent

Many thanks, Laurent. It is a little strain on my brain to figure out what image will work with this technique. (I've had my failures)

That's, but, exactly what you've got here, Wayne! A masterpiece! PDE

Many thanks, Pierre, for your encourage. Sorry taking so long to acknowledge. I have been MIA for a few months.

I really like this picture Holger. You have managed to give an artistic look to it, enhancing colors and textures. Kind Regards, Rosario.

Thanks, Rosario, for the kind comments. I presume they were meant for me, Wayne. I think I see Venice through a lover's eyes. There everything appears a romantic painting to me.
