Exquisite image capturing the elegance of the costume, head dress and mask, focusing on the superb big red rose the eyes travel fascinated along the Venice canal. Magic was achieved. Big vote. V.
Nice portrait of the Prince and the Rose Costume beautiful pose and placement into the frame.
Nice bokeh slightly out of focus giving the viewer a canal view with reflection.

Image romantique et magnifique. La rose rouge fait ressortir les tons pastels du costume. Le canal complète parfaitement le décor et contribue au charme de cette photo. Bravo Alain c'est du grand art. VVV
Without a slightest doubt, this photo is my top pick of the whole gallery, so far. Stunning composition, Daniel's captivating eye expression, marvelous light at perfect timing, pastel colours in fantastic harmony, all contribute to a perfect picture. Besides the photographer's expertise, I would say, the best kind of luck was on your side, Alain. The sun was shining for you at the right moment. You found this canal that's long and straight with a curved bridge, and as a big bonus, the houses at the end of the canal are clearly reflected between the bow shape created by the bridge and its reflection. There's no harsh shadow on the water or on the buildings. It's a dreamy La Serenissima. Daniel's costume, in dusty lilac trimmed with pale pink, emphasizes the romantic touch in this painting-like image. Holding a rose, his eyes seem to show that he's engaged in his memory of this lovely city, memory from the past but not faded, like the houses in the distance, they're far away but they have the brightest spot of the whole picture. The rose may wither, but his fond memory of Venice is everlasting.
Thanks to Alain, for sharing this masterpiece with us. ~VVVVVVVV~
The prince with his soft coloured fabrics and his passion-coloured rose, which he seems to offer as a tribute toLa Serenissima, looks like coming straight out of a magnified Renaissance where everything would be only flowers and dreams. A beautifully composed image with a superb background, a very romantic image, and that recalls the way of old masters.

Sometimes looking at your exquisite picture I think of Lorenzo Il Magnifico times, Botticelli, of cause Florence...but generally speaking their time Venice. Elaborate costume, mask and pose. V.
