Ancient Venice Photo

Photographer’s Note

I found another old picture and scanned it badly :( So I thought of a very old picture and added neatimage to get that glamour look and run a sepia filter in PScs for it. Hope you still like it.

Whenever I'm in a new city I try to see it from above and climb church towers. Unfortunately I forgot the name from where this photo was taken
:(

Good idea to climb the curch tower. I to try to find a high spot whe i come to a new town but...usually don't have time to explore that much :(. I like the soft toen you have used Jan. It goes well with the old buildings.

Its difficult to have an original view of Venice, Jan, and you did it perfectly !
It's interesting to see the sea over the city.
I like the sepia tone even if there is a little lack of sharpness here.
Well done !

The yellow suggests great age. A good choice. Composition is good too.

Ouah... I like it a lot Jan...
Too bad you don't remember the name of the church you took this image from. This is marvellous.. Great image.

very nice panoramic and the boats and buidings are great here, it looks like this picture was taken in the 1700's

well done, but if it was a bit sharper it would be better

Nice pano and a good choice of tone on an unusual view of the city and a lovely bleed off into the distance Jan almost compensates for the overall softness and harsh light.

A nice shot, despite the bad scen, Jan. Very nice use of sepia, although I'd prefer it b/w, see my WS. Venice is always romantic, and this picture certainly is. Well done.

A nice shot. I like the sepia tones and the hazy atmosphere. Do you have your new camera yet?

Hi Jan, indeed very good idea to climb a church! About the picture: I like the soft tones you used. The wide angle is also very good. The use of a filter was a good choice. Well seen.

Shame about the scan - but still a nice image :)

A great panoramic shot of Venice, Jan. I especially like the three little bridges and the fact that you managed to capture some boats in the water. Your post-processing has even it a wonderful atmosphere. Well done.

You did a great shot of Venice Jan, despite a bit lack of sharpness. I like the great POV and view. I think the sepia tone was definitely the best choice here. Very well done.

great panoramic view of that beautiful city Jan, i like the moving boat and the colors here add a special mood
