Hi czvi,
no, i have not idea who they are, sorry.

I love the way they are gazing at Venice with her head on his shoulder. Do you know who they are? They look like my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Venice is just beautiful. I didn't get such beautiful blue water though. In fact all parts of Italy that I visited stroke me as beautiful, full of flowers. I quite remember that since here in Panama everything seems to be green, as people favor mostly foliage plants and not flower plants. I loved the sunflower fields, which were in full blossom when we were there. Your country is bella, ragazzo!

Thanks for your comments Nugar and Alexeig.
No, this is not the "Canal Grande", it's the "Canale della Giudecca", the largest canal in Venice. Glad you like the shot; i've done it on the way back to my girlfriend's home (she lives in Venice), after trying some candid shots for the challenge ;-)
This is my preferred.

I went to Venice on 2003. The only regret I have is that I only had a 2mp Cybershot at the time. Then again, I wasn't yet in love with photography :) Beautiful picture, I like both the composition and the blue colors.

Buon giorno, Paolo, dove sono questo? Il Gran Canale? (Non, non parlo italiano, io parlo spagnolo, but I'm faking it! LOL!)

Tom, thanks for your kind comments.
You're right, usually Venice's canals are much narrower than this. This is one of the bigger: the tower bell on the left is on "San Giorgio" island, and the right part is on the "Giudecca" island.

Very nice shot. Like how the couple against the post mirrors the posts in the water. Also I've never really seen any Venice shots this wide open, thanks for sharing (I always picture Venice as narrow canal streets). - Tom
