Hello Anton,

Splendid capture of famous square at exact time while low angled light creating long shadows of busy visitors. Great depth and perspective with historical buildings. An attractive one, congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Hallo Anton!
An uncommon view of this world famous place - and a wonderful one. Concerning that this is a backlight photo you managed the difficulties quite well and all these shadows are a beautiful addition and an interesting element of this scenery! A wonderful and most impressive photo indeed!

Olá Anton, wonderful dramatic effect from the strong light. The people and their shadows gave a fantastic graphic appealing to the picture. A touristic place, big queues to get tickets that also contributes to enhance the perspective. Excellent capture from this superb vantage POV over the Piazzetta.
warm regards,
ricardo

Hello Anton, I recognise this immediately, A wonderful image with unusual light & colour but also very effective. I like the many long shadows you have captured, they add contrast & interest, excellent POV looking down the Piazzetta to the water & beyond. Where did you take this from?
Regards from a warm Melbourne where the temperature has just it 45 degrees C.

Hi Anton,
Maybe some "purists" dislike the over-exposure, but I find it unavoidable and even a part of the great charm of the photo. The perspective is impressive.
An original photo of one of the most photographed places of the world.
