Venice is always a lovely city to photograph This interesting and arresting view is good BUT (my humble opinion only)it seems a little 'washed out' and could have done with a little more contrast (?)...whatdo you think ??...comments would oblige...Best weishes...Monty

Great colours and lighting. Superb focus and DOF. I like the background in focus. It adds location to the race. Composition and framing are great. Good detail and clarity. Awesome image. Good job.

Happy to see this valuable,knowledgeable, great scene.Those buildings seen on the far side are unique in shape and design.The grand canal of Venice and the two men rowing the beautiful blue coloured boat is very attractive to view.The shimmering reflections in the water is beautiful.Good shot and a good contest entry.All the best.

Very pretty picture. It gives a nice vision of the Grand Canal. Wonderful detail in the windows and water. The water looks pretty calm. Good luck in the contest, Keri

Is it my imagination or are the buildings slanted? Great capture of the moving gondola, great colours and details in this shot. Good reflection in the water.

not your imagination: if you look at the main building, the vertical and horizontal lines aretilted at opposite directions
