Venezia*

Venice, Italy

You may not—ever before—have seen the Canale Grande
as quiet, as empty, as serene...

Sorry to disappoint you, Idrutu: Not even to get a good photo would I be able to get up early in the morning (your remark shows you don’t know me personally...): I shot this on a November evening with a lot of (other) tourists around, waiting for nearly an hour to get the right moment. Hope you like the image anyway. Thanks a lot for commenting! — db.

This shot is amazing in so many ways I don't even know where to start - the feeling of tranquility is almost palpable, even the water seems perfectly still. The fact that you got up so early in the morning (I assume) to take this shot is another astonishing thing, and getting such sharpness in the buildings and such beautiful colors in such low light is pure witchcraft.
I love it!

Rod: knowing that you feel about sigs what I feel about partially desaturated colors, I understand even *that* remark of yours as a compliment. To all of you (José Pablo, Mary Anne, Pfehlauer and Rod): many thanks for commenting! — db.

A lovely shot with mood, well done Daniel. The orange lights are a bit overpowering for the mood & could be toned down quite a bit. & look at the little sig tucked away in the top corner, looks very professional mate:-)

Beautiful moody shot. Incredible that there's a light in only one of all those windows.

Daniel, I like very much the mood of this picture. You are right. It looks like a beautiful deserted city, without any person on it.
