[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon well known for its vibrantly colored houses. It lies near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework. The island was probably settled by the Romans, and in the sixth century was occupied by people from Altino, who named it for one of the gates of their former city.
The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development; if someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot. This practice has resulted in the myriad of warm, pastelly colours that characterises the island today.

Ola Leonor,
Burani in all its splendor, well framed to get a fine reflection and with just the necessary light to lighten the color palette on the buildings, it looks very good.
Have a nice day JY

Salut Leonor,
Superbe cette vue de Burano, bon cadrage vertical avec de belles teintes agrémentées par des reflets sur l'eau très bon ensemble.

Hello Leonor,
A splendid composition of this canal with its brightly coloured houses. Excellent light and tones; the reflections are very well captured. I like the man with his mobile; adds a touch of vitality. Very good clarity.

A remarkable image with fine colours and lovely composition. The textures are superb as well. I like the overall quality of the image and the superb sprawling impact it creates through its hues, pov and perspective. Nice photography indeed.

Hi Leonor,
You excellent framing called to me from the thumbnail,
The graceful curve of the canal, the bright colors of the buldings and reflection in the canal gives me an image of the way I think Venice should look. Mostly I've felt and seen photos that present the pressure of crowded, narrow streets with little light. You have captured a real feeling of peaceful grace and beauty. Well done!!

Beautiful shot! I like those bright and vivid colours, which really bring the place and the photo to life. Great reflection too, as the canal provides a visual link to follow and draw us into the picture. Wonderful shot!

Bravo!!
Salut, Jordi

Olá Leonor!
Bem bonita essa vista da cidade e esse prédios coloridos são bem interessantes. Gostei do reflexo também, parece que o canal é mais importante que as ruas!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Beautifully done, Leonor!
Great POV with the canal and the line of houses leading the eye in and then those wonderful colors!! The clarity and saturation of the colors is just perfect. Beautiful light, nice detail and the reflections are just fabulous! Oh, this is SUCH a lovely shot! Thanks and warm regards,

Bonjour Leonor,
Grâce à ce beau cadrage, je retrouve bien les belles couleurs de Venise qui se reflètent dans l'eau des canaux!
Cela fait toujours rêver et donne envie de retourner dans cette ville aux charmes multiples!

Magnificent photo of Burano. You chose one day when the sun was not too violent and not kept silent manage in this way to have very beautiful and sweet colors, it is what I like in this photo. The reflections are also perfected.
Bravissima!

Olá Leonor, é de facto uma cidade encantadora e não me canso de ver imagens dela por aqui. A tranquilidade dos canais e o colorido das fachadas são extremamente fotogénicos e fazem imagens de grande beleza. A tua perspectiva a abrir para o canal ficou muito bonita e o duplicado da imagem reflectida na água é muito atraente.
Beijinhos,

Hi Leonor
Very nice foreground with an interesting perspective.
Colours are very appreciable int this curve of houses.
Cheers.

Colours here are so strong, Leonor, that the whole scene has a certain "cartoon" look, an effect which I like here, also you have chosen a really nice POV to build this perspective with reflection, and the walking man is a bonus for this shot.

Cheers

Hi Leonor,

A beautiful photograph on this landscape of Burano. I like much the selected format which gives a beautiful depth to the image. Superb management of the colors. With this reflection, one would say a painting. It is very pleasant to look at. Beautiful work and thank you for sharing.

With all my friendships and a good WE,

Hi Leonor,
Wonderful picture from Burano !

Grande Leonor,
Belas cores, brilhante composição - a disposição espacial está ótima, pois você distribuiu-a em dois segmentos suportados pelo espelho do rio.
Muitos parabéns,

Hi Leonor,
A splendid scene from Burano. Excellent composition with good light, colourful buildings and clesr reflection on the water. Great work my dear friend...
Have a nice week...

Hola Leonor,

No parece una foto, parece una pintura, los colores tienen un aire impresionista aunque con texturas más suaves, el formato vertical favorece a la composición, los reflejos en el agua crean un bello efecto espejo que ayuda a equilibrar el trabajo, sin duda es un gran lugar con muchísimas posibilidades fotográficas, gracias por compartirlo.

Un saludo

Hi Leonor,
beautiful view on venice, great composition and colors.Excellent perspective and light.Well done.

Olá Leonor,
I missed those lovely colours before, what a pity. A very nice moment with the calm canal water and the lovely colours of the houses. Looking along the facades following the curve is nice and gives a lot of depth.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Ola Leonor,
Esta tua foto esta uma obra prima tanto de reflexos como de cores é um lugar muito bonito , bom enquadramento da foto e uso da foto na vertical , parabens!!!

Beautiful scene, I like the interesting colorful buildings, the channel with those reflections and the boats. Excellent framing and POV.

Nao e que esta imagem passou desapercebido ... Sei la como isto aconteceu pois a imagem com estas cores fortes esta muito boa. Ate parece capa de livro de um crime cometido em Burano. A associacao fica talvez um pouco esquisito para voce mas eu li uns anos atras um romance que se passou em Borano e se tratava de um crime cometido neste local.
