love it,looks like it should be on a postcard

Tarakiwa

Beautiful!
I really like the movemement of the gondolas bobbing in the water!!

*Dallas

thats really dreamy! love it

kjt

Very nice shot, I love how the background/buildings look faded. One thing I think takes away from the shot is the colour of the lights. The purple/magenta looks wrong imo. Maybe darken them a bit or HUE them to another colour (even though they were probably that colour )

Is that the taxi rank yeah?:pac:

Btw I like the faded look of the background. Was it really foggy that day?

Shiny

Very nice.

I would love to go to Venice at this time of year.
Less tourists to annoy you. And they DO annoy you.

That is one very beautiful shot, be proud. I love the softness of it.

run_Forrest_run

@moralproduction - thanks - it really was a beautiful place, everyone should visit ...

@tarakiwa - I know what you mean, the bobbing really was what attracted me to them shot ... though I'm never sure if anyone agrees with me +

@Dallas ... thanks for taking thetime to look and comment

@kjt - I tend to agree with you on this one ... the magenta is a little distracting, they were actually that colour for some reason ... I'll tone it down a bit before I print it

@outpost - yeah, it's the taxi rank ... slightly more photogenic than the ones in Dublin alright

it was early and there was a slight mist in the air alright

@shiny - yeah, those annoying tourists In fairness, it wasn't too bad, like you say, the time of year helped ... especially at this hour of the morning (6.15am) --- anyone with any sense was in bed and I had St. Mark's Square to meself

@smelltheglove - cheers, I am chuffed the way it turned out ..

@ Run Forest Run - thanks for looking, glas you like it

I was there last weekend and it was absolutely packed with tourists

You can't do that! The colour is characteristic of the Venitian lamposts!! Anyway I think it compliments the colours in the photo quite well.

Nice shot, I have one or two of excactly the same spot; its such an incredible place to photograph (Venice in general, not the gondola rank), I've just put together a book of the place myself.
