We loved it. Venice is very expensive, heaving with tourists and has a terrible graffiti problem but is also beautiful, fun and a delight to explore.
Best wishes, Kris.

The lamppost shot is definitely the pick of the 3 for me. The tones in that shot are just lovely, really nice and I also like that its 95% mono with a hint of colour in the lamppost glass and blue boats.

Thanks Gareth.

I didn't want to flood the thread with too many images. I'm glad you like it. Some of these have already been entered to the PPG...

I love the lampost - it's superb . The delicate colour in it just makes it

A great selection, Kris. Good time of year to explore, I reckon. I like the shots with mixed lighting, they're different and not derivative. The red bench shot is powerful as well. For some reason I'm drawn more to the colour shots, which is unusual for me. A place I'd love to visit some day.
Best wishes,
Andrew

I love the alleyway scenes, off the beaten track. The lampost with hazy view is very attractive and photographically superb but its the sort of pictures many photographers try for when they visit Venice. They don't always pull it off as well as this though.

Thanks David. I was trying for something a little different with my alleys although I had to get up at 5am to be able to photograph them empty! I was luckily with the light with the first image, and the 50-135mm excels at that type of image but I agree with you, it has been done before!
Best wishes, Kris.

I got around to cloning the cranes out of the background of this one.

Lovin the lamp post shot

Excellent I love #2, the zig-zag trail the alley takes is great composition and the lamp post shot is also superb. lovely depth.
not so sure about #1 - the graffiti isn't the obvious focal point. I would perhaps try cropping right in and saturating the graffiti colours a little
