Ciao Paolo,

what a nice view. It looks a tranquil and peaceful place. I like the way you placed the ferry and the arquitectures in the frame. The sky was blue enough to make a perfect contrast. Well done!

Bonsoir Paolo
Superbe lumière : on dirait que la ville s'est allumé pour fêter l'arrivée du bateau. Joli contraste entre les teintes froides de la gauche de la photo et les teintes chudes de la ville. Bravo.

hello Paolo

Very good color contrast and sharpness. The capture of light is special point to brighten up the buildings while the other side is in shadow, and this makes your shot very attractive.

tfs, bill

I love the light on the buildings and how it makes the reflections glow. The faint baackground mountain balances the frame perfectly. Well done

Ciao Paolo,

Nice perspective. The golden light over the building is beautiful and the boat is well positioned in the frame, nice refection as well. I just think there's a little too much of the blue sky, but it does not compromise the goodd result.

Regards,

Flavia

ciao

PixelTerror (86036) 2008-04-21 3:48

Ciao Paolo,
From the vignette it looked like a blue hour image, but that's beucase the light at this time delivered spectacular lightening of the buildings facade and allowed you to achieve almost that level of warm/cold contrast, very nice.
Have a nice day JY

Ciao Paolo
È bella la città che esce dall'universo blu grazie a questa luce straordinaria che hai saputo captare. L'opposizione ombra/luce è molto riuscita.
Bravissimo
Buona gornata
