Hi Chris
atmospheric and quite beautiful this shot. Love the light and the soft colours in the sky tinged so elegantly with grey clouds. A perfect execution and stunning presentation. Exquisite!

Have a great weekend - best wishes Brian.

hi chris,
the sky is beautifully coloured in this picture which combined with the cloud formations has helped create a superbly atmospheric image. very nice reflections in the water. there is still great detail in the buildings despite the low light.
regards,
brian

Salut Chris!
Quel ciel!
C'est une photo très belle!
La netteté, la gestion de la lumière, les couleurs, le format vertical, l'encadrement noir & blanc, le pdv choisi et la compo m'ont plu beaucoup!
Merci du partage,
Amitiés,
Neyvan

Chris,
I like the play between the warm oranges and cool blues. Nice variety of textures.

Chris
Un HDR comme je les aime, pas trop poussé pour garder du naturel et suffisamment travaillé pour déboucher les ombres. Le ciel est une merveille.
Amicalement

Hello Chris.
This is the kind of HDR shot that I appreciate. It doesn't look artificial, but is probably how you saw the scene with the naked eye. The pinkish light of the evening sky suffuses the whole picture, making it very atmospheric. It's good to see the detail of the architecture in this one. Very nicely done.
Regards,
Andrew

Bonsoir Chris,

Voilà une belle ambiance que tu as su capturer. En prime une composition agréable qui utilise les nuages pour contrebalancer les palais.
On premier regard, je n'avais pas noté le traitement HDR, donc plutôt un bon signe car pour moi un traitement doit être indecelable sinon on passe plutôt dans l'art graphique que dans la photo.
Je diminuerais seulement un peu le contraste sur la façade du palais qui n'est pas totalement raccord avec l'éclairage qui vient plutôt de l'arrière plan.

Encore une photo qui me donne envi de retourner à Venise...

Yves.
