Venice

As you can tell, P'shopped quite a bit but let me know your thoughts.
This was done specifically for the artistic effect shown here and was not meant to be a trad photo image

I like it, I like the camera position and the framing, the graduated way you have used black, fading to white as the viewer moves up the image is a strong pull and the ‘crown’ at the top serves to a degree to keep me in the image. I do how ever tent to wander out of the left and right of the to of the image, perhaps a tighter crop would keep me in. The selective focus of the overall image is reminiscent of the lensbaby. The mood you have achieved with the building plays well with the anger in the water.

Thanks for sharing

I too love the effect. Water is fabulous and Venice is a beautiful (and expensive!) place.
I like the work on the building but i'm not sure about the crop. I find myself wondering what the top of the building looks like.
Apart from that minor gripe its a nice job done by you as usual mate.

cheers matey!

interesting comments bout the cropping, think i''l move to the front of the class and try harder!! lol!

cheers guys. much appreciated!
