Not too original... a sunset!
But a sunset in the Venetian lagoon, not IN Venezia (Venice) but at the other side, where the tourists aren't soo many: the name of the village is Ca'Ballarin.
The triple wooden pole ('brìcola' in the venetian dialect) indicate where the deep of the water is sufficient for the navigation, otherwise is very easy (almost 'guaranted' say I) to finish in the shallows.
The line, in fact a curve, of the canes delimit (and indicate the presence of) a fishing net (above all for sea breames [orate], basses [branzini] and gray mullets [cefali])
Yes, is like an abused postcard with the big circle of the sun, even so i find the colors peacefully and, i hope, the image transmit a great sensation of quiet.
So was in fact the evening in the venetian lagoon...
Hope you like it!

Questa ha una luce spettacolare, una vera e propria cartolina ..ma delle migliori, .. il riflesso è perfetto e il cielo rosa è fantastico, ...di solito quando il tramonto "raggiunge" il rosa le foto risultano più scure quì invece i toni sono nitidi e chiari e la luce, come ho già detto, è spettacolore, complimenti!!
buona setrata,
Fabio.

Che purezza, una belleza molto attraente. Le piccole ondine, colorate della luce di un cielo così meraviglioso...complimenti, Giorgio!

I really really like this shot, the colours are, as you say, very soothing and reflection and the wooden posts work really well.

very very nice.

Ciao Giorgio,
complimenti per questa bellissima fotografia.
I colori sono incredibili e le sfumature rosa diffondono una bella senzione di tranquillitá.
Ancora complimenti.

Excellent colors!!!

Hi Giorgio,
It's really a original sunset, so well captured and composed in a nice vertical format. Artistic feeling by your side, nature atmosphere and a resulting splendid composition. Soft quality colors, fine enquadrement, nice luminosity and a great and beautiful work.

Congratulations. Very well seen and done.
Best Regards
Fernando

EEEEOOOOOOOOHHHH...ma che spettacolo!
le mie foto preferite sono esattamente così!
una luce tenue, colori soffusi e una meravigliosa calma ovunque!!!
complimenti Giorgio, rilassante, perfetta e stupenda....giusto quel che ci vuole per riuscire ad arrivare a Venerdì pomeriggio....dopo questi durissimi..2 giorni di lavoro!!!

ciao!

E' bellissimo il paesaggio lagunare, piatto e calmo, e questi colori rosati. Le bricole fanno da contrappunto al disco del sole. Sarà una cartolina... ma l'hai fatta benissimo, e poi: come si fa a resistere dal fotografare un tramonto così?
Grazie, ciao!! Livia

But a beautiful sunset nevertheless. Original..well no sundet shot is really going to be very ofiginal, but otiginality isnt the only measure of success. Here the sheer beauty overrides any lack of originality.

bravo! veramente a beautiful sunset, the water so still, the reflection so good, the texture of the lagoon......wow
bellissima
emanuela

Giorgio, cette vue est très belle avec des couleurs pastel. Les "bricola" font penser à un caractère chinois, je ne sais pas lequel au juste. Une réussite.

Serwus Giorgio !
Very artistic approach for this sunset. Excellent light, clarity and quality. Superb reflections, setting sun looks like a bullet in the water. Great Work.
Be well,

Hi Giorgio,
You can almost your picture revolve on its axis, for again a mirror picture. The mirror reflection its of very great quality. My compliments for this.
Have a nice weekend,
John.

Niente da dire, Giorgio ... una foto perfetta! Ciao Sergio

Fantastic composition Giorgio and the title fits very well. Really looks like a ballarin! The colours and the lighting are amazing too. Vey well composed and framed. Splendid work, bravo!

Regards John

Ciao Giorgio!
Bellissima foto davvero!!! Mi piace perchè i colori sono tenui, quasi pastello. Infonde un bel senso di calma e pace! Che relax solo a guardarla.... L'inquadratura è poi perfetta e la macchina è perfettamente "in bolla". Hai usato il treppiede?
Complimenti come sempre!

Hi Giorgio,
This is no ordinary sunset! I love the way the pier pilings are reflected here and the wonderful tones and hues in the water. The ambience here is one of quietude and peace. Great work, Giorgio.
John

Hi Giorgio,
Nice moody scene.
Good composition with the two subjects in oppositite corners.
Regards,
Didier

ciao Giorgio!
come stai?
for sure it's a sunset, but a great one..
How do you go to Ca'ballarin?
is it further than Burano? or is it in the other side?
ciao
loic

Hi Giorgio,
I simply like the way the sun seemed to drop into the sea leaving a hole in the sky. Just an imagination. Very lovely colours and the smooth surface of the water suggest peace and calm. The colours are very impressively captured. Great shot!! All the best.

Ciao Giorgio,
questa l'ho gia' vista prima, ma per colpa di fame ti ho messo critica su pizza ;) ... comunque son' qua. Bellissima e spettacolare la luce e i riflessi. La composizione con i pali nell'acqua guadagna moltissimo perche' da una dimensione in piu' alla profondita'.

Hi Giorgio. This is an original sunset ! First because of the composition that allows most of the picture to the reflection in the foreground water mirror and secondary because of the nice integration of the wood pieces that attract the eye. Thanks for sharing !

beautiful colors are good framing. The picture is sharpen enough. Peaceful atmosphere.

I love this one, colud have been a photo out of my head.

Excellent compoced, beautiful color, great reflextion, I like the simple and mood comp.

Bellissima, COMPLIMENTI !
Conosco bene qui luighi. Sono uno dei pochi turisti che li frequenta con piacere. Tranquillità, pace ed armonia con la natura sono le sensazioni che trasmette la tua foto. Le stesse che provi partendo in bicicletta da Treporti, passando per Saccagnana, Mesole fino ad arrivare a Lio Piccolo ! L'unica pecca è il rumore dei jet in partenza da Tessera che ti portano bruscamente alla realtà.

Ciao e grazie per aver immortalato questi luoghi stupendi.

Silvio
