Hi Bulent,
nice to see an other picture from you again !
This a wonderful view which you offer to ours eyes today. The colors are wonderful and the monuments of Venice in the shadows are great.
That's a master's shot !
Congratulations

Merhaba Hocam,
Venedik için iftar saati :DD
Çok güzel bir ışıkla çekmişsiniz fotoğrafınızı. Gökyüzünün altında neredeyse silüet haline gelecek katedral muazzam duruyor. Dalgalı kanalda ilerleyen tekneler ile yakaladığınız hareket de oldukça etkileyici.
Saygılarımla,
Rigoletto della Salute

Merhaba,
İtalya'dan yine muhteşem bir görüntü. Gökyüzünün rengarenk güzelliğine mimarininde güzelliği eklenince ortaya işte böyle seyrine doyumsuz bir fotoğraf çıktı. Elinize sağlık. Bu arada kitabınızı Ankara'da bulamadığım için netten ısmarladım, bir hafta da bana ulaşacakmış. Selamlar, saygılar.

Hello Bulent,
Excellent shot of this famous church. Very nice colours in the sky and good detail in the canal. The passing boats are an added bonus.

Hi Bulent,

the sky is stunning .. and evocative in this place .. the water beautiful .. the buildings live in that strange place between detail and silhouette that no matter how I deal with it I never feel like I have done the right thing .. (although I would love it if our friends in that modern boat were thrown into silhouette) ..

wonderful image.

Hi Bulent.
A really dramatic shot with a great effect. the only problem is you have a few spots on your image, in the sky above the ball on the left. They're a little distracting. Maybe you could clone them out on your original. Not a big problem. Well done.
Regards, Steve.

Hi Bulent. I like this story about the political leaders making a vow to God to build an edifice for salvation from the plague. Very interesting indeed. I can imagine that it must have been quite the challenge to capture this photo with such a high ISO setting. Nevertheless it is a very good image with a wonderful view of the sunset sky.
I took upon myself to do a workshop for you. The reason for this workshop is bring up a few darker shadows so the image would portray how the human eye would see the scene. What pixels like to do when it comes to estimating exposure settings is to calculate the bright sky against the darker shadows which often results in the darker shadows being underexposed. So I adjusted that for you in the workshop. I can see that you had a great time there in Venice. Thanks Bulent for the great photo and info on this place. Cheers ...PJE

Hi Bülent,

A marvellous sky which gives all its value to this superb architecture venician. The point of view is excellent, I like very much this effect of back light which gives a particular atmosphere. The slightly agitated channel is more beautiful effect. A beautiful composition and thank you for the note always interesting.

With my all friendships of France,

Jean-Charles

Wow Bulent Bey,
Magical colors, and beautifull composition, with very nice details. The color of the sky with the yellowish tones is divine. So is the compositionand the expertly use of light.
I wish you a nice week. Best regards.
Salvator.

Hi Bulent,
I like the beautiful evening atmosphere in the picture.
I can almost feel refreshing of a little evening breeze after a long hot day.
Time to find a little picturesque restaurant.

I really like that church (I even had a poster of it on my room for several years), which I saw during my short stay there a long time ago (I was a student at the time). And your sunset sky is beautiful here.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Merhaba Bülent Bey,
2 haftadır TE.bakamadım,tiryakilik yarattı hepimizde herhalde.Dün akşam TV.de çok güzel Venedik karnavalı izlemiştim,bu sabah ta güzel resminizi görünce orada olmak istedim.Kompozisyon çok etkileyici,renkli butlutlu gökyüzü,perspektif,kilisenin yeri harika.Elinize sağlık.Venediği 2 kez gördüm ama bu kilisenin içini ve yanındaki Academia resim müzesini fırsat bulup gezemedim.Seneye festival zamanını denk getirip gidebilmeyi isterim.Selam ve saygılarımla.

It's very impressive to achieve such a wonderful image from a water taxi. There is no motion blur and the colours are beautiful. Even though you used a high ISO the noise is minimal. Paul's WS has brought more detail from the shadows, but silhouettes are often the charm of sunset images. Good work.

Hi Bulent,
Even though they appear as silhouettes the shapes of these buildings set the context at once, it can't be anywhere else as Venezia... except Las Vegas maybe ;-)
A nice low light picture, it's a small detail but I believe it tilts to the left.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

henrytf (985) 2007-02-22 16:55

Hello Bulent,
This is really one of the nicest photos you have put on TE. The colours of the sky, their reflexions in the Grand Canal, the two motor boats, the semi silhouetted Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute, with just enough details in the shadows, all these elements make a great picture. I also enjoyed reading your very informative note. The plague you mention makes me think of the London Great Plague in 1665 and the Great Fire that followed in 1666. After all St Paul's Cathedral was built after a similar catastrophe. Your picture and your note prove once more how useful and interesting Internet sites such as TE are.
Friendly greetings
Henry

delic (6735) 2007-02-22 17:37

Merhaba Bulent,
You have presented a tough one again. The sky and the fact that it is Venice make this photo appealing. At first I felt that the buildings were on the dark side and they lacked sufficient detail. I thought about possible fixes: could have used neutral grad filter, or PP perhaps. But then as I kept staring, my eyes became adjusted to the shadows, and it actually started looking fine. And very fine it is.
Best wishes,
Hakan

jhm (202883) 2007-02-23 7:40

Hi Bulent,

You care for excellent for a great depth and perspective, maybe generally a little bit dark but very nice colours in the sky and good detail in the canal, I'm very glad with your excellent note too! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Another great shot. The atmoshere here is great. James

Hello Bulent,

this is an amazing shot. The Santa Maria della Salute fading into the shadow adds something special to your picture. The atmosphere is so beautiful and the colours are just amazing.

Very well capured indeed!! POV from where?

Best regards from Manchester (UK)
Igor

pinakie_slg (861) 2007-02-25 21:19

another great picture from u. thanks for sharing.
keeping a balance with the monument and the rightside bldg is indeed a work of a genius and ofcourse the light and sky is perfect.

lisadang (504) 2007-02-28 21:07

Beautiful sunset.

zeca (19762) 2007-03-08 17:48

Hello Bulent!
Wow! This is so beautiful! The architecture, the lights, the clouds, the colours, the framing, everything is great here!

balatrek (7455) 2007-03-11 4:41

Hi Bulent,

The best thing of this image is the atmosphere that you were able to capture, the tones of the sky are perfect to create that sensation of tranquillity in all the scene, without a doubt is a magic moment and you knew it to see well. Good work and thanks to share.

Regards
José

devimeuxbe (58557) 2007-03-24 8:39

Hi Bulent
I also like this very beautifull composition; First the sky is very beautifull, but also the darkness on the water is also beautifull, perfectly managed. It is still possible to see the boats and lot of details.
Excellent cropping
Have a nice week end
Bertrand

Hi Bulent. Beautiful sunset and nice perspective. Regards, Yvonne

happypoppeye (4819) 2007-06-24 14:03

Another classic shot of Venice. Again, great composition. Very nice sky also. This photo is outstanding for being taken in a boat and the ISO-1600 "pixilation" does not detract from the photo whatsoever. Truthfully, I think it gives the photo a little character. A real life photo, not a studio shot. You saw the black cat and pushed your equipment to its max to get the photo. Great work. Great shot. Great note.

John

Hello, Bulent -

This was on the featured release screen when TE came up, so I had to take a look! It looks to me like you cleaned up the pixilation - Gaussian blur? I find the tilt of the water a bit disturbing; it looks like the canal is draining out lower left!

But a great capture and print under difficult conditions. The colorful sky and the deeply shadowed church make a great combination.

Dan

robsz (741) 2007-12-10 5:23

Hi Bulent,
very nice composition indeed and beautiful sky colour. My only criticism is that it is a little dark and hard to see detail, but composition is excellent with great evening mood conveyed in this shot. Very much enjoying your whole gallery.
Regards,
Rob.
