Silvano, I must confess that I envy your pictures of Venetian Carnival... ;-) I've seen a lot of pictures of this event so far, but I don't remember seeing a more unusual and emotional gallery of pictures. Thanks for sharing those pictures and giving an insight in your work. Best luck on Carnevale 2008 (which I'm sure you won't miss), I'm looking forward to Carnevale and your pictures of it very much and hope the weather will be as fine as it was last year.

Great pictures with that subtile light and close up details with faded background. Must have been great pleasure to make these pictures. Henri Elan from Holland

Ciao Silvano, Thierry et Florine m'ont parlé de ton talent Je viens de découvrir ton site et je confirme c'est splendide: Bravo l'artista!! Io sperati fare tua conoscenza in occasione del prossimo carnevale. Christian de Lyon Nb: sur les conseil de Thierry j'ai aussi fait mon site sur Pbase: c'est loin d'être à ton niveau!

Sono incantato da questa serie, la profondità di campo, la luce, la nitidezza, le composizioni, sono tutti elementi che rendono questa serie incredibilmente bella, sia da ammirare che per imparare.

Silvano, What wonderful photos--you are the director of a wonderful fantasy that you capture on film. I'm sorry I missed you in Venice. My group was there 16-19 and enjoyed such sunshine. I looked for you, but didn't see you. I really enjoy your website-- Bravo

Jean-Paul PLUME		24-Feb-2007 21:14
Cette une superbe galerie sur le carnaval de Venise 2007. Les personnages nous émerveillent en même temps qu'ils nous intriguent. Cette impression est renforcée par les yeux qui nous laissent pleins de mystères derrière ces masques tout aussi intriguants. La qualité photographique est exceptionnelle. Les personnages sont admirablement mis en valeur sur des fonds qui nous indiquent bien que nous sommes à Venise. Oui, cette galerie est magnifique et bien évidemment, je vote pour elle.

Gia		24-Feb-2007 18:11
Beautiful work. Helping us going to Venice (in our dreams)

MARCO		24-Feb-2007 17:59
Complimenti per queste bellissime foto che ci terranno compagnia per i prossimi mesi. Sei un grande!! Con le tue capacità riesci ad esaltare la creatività e l'arte di colui che è appassionato di maschere e costumi. Marco. Maschere Veneziane dal lago di Como

Richard Cobby		24-Feb-2007 17:20
Powerful, beauitful images capturing the whole essence of the carnival. My best congratulations - GMV. Regards - Richard

Monte Stevens		24-Feb-2007 16:26
This is an absolutely beautiful gallery of images, a work of art and creativity, and by a very talented photographer. In my opinion your presentation of the subjects shows great understanding of lighting and composition. The depth-of-field isolates the subject but at the same time reveals to us the city of Venice. Not everyone is talented enough to present this quality of work! Excellent!!! I will be back and follow your work! Monte

laurent lardière		24-Feb-2007 16:21
QUE DE SURPRISES!! et des magnifiques photos comme tu sais si bien les faire. je suis plein d'admiration pour ton regard!! Bravissimo , bravissimo Silvano. I vote for all the pics Amitiés laurent

Ciao Silvano Congratulazioni, sono veramente belle! Sono emozionanti. Ora capisco dove ho sbagliato le mie foto: manca uno sfondo, un contesto. Ero talmente concentrata sulla maschera, sul volto, intenta ad eliminare la folla intorno, da perdere di vista la composizione di un soggetto in un contesto! Peccato ciaoooo

Ann Cleeves		23-Feb-2007 23:04
An exceptional gallery full of the most beautiful creative and colourful pictures. Well done! I enjoyed it so much.
