Lovely, lovely image, certainly worth getting up so early when you can produce something so beautiful.
I like both versions very much. Hard to choose between them, but I think, maybe because of the black sky, I shall opt for Antique Light this time. Tough call though.

I prefer the warmth of the first shot, but would be more than happy with either. Lovely shot.

I like the first one too but again would be pleased with both.

Lovely shot. Where is this?
I like both, but with a gun to my head I'd choose the 2nd.
have you tried it in B&W as well?

Outstanding, Kris. And I really can't decide which is more pleasing. Probably the full colour version. Then again...
Best wishes,
Andrew

Nice capture indeed!
For me the color version does it. I like the way the image is plit on diagonaly by the red and green cast. This is also reflected in the contrats between the redish pillars and the mysterious, almost murky, green water. The focus point for me is the woden posts.
The reason I prefer it over the antique version, is the latter looks too 1880 for me and the focus point shifted to the bridge.

The Rialto Bridge in Venice. I could have moved around and got it all in but decided that this was a more unusual viewpoint. The problem with Venice is that several billion photographs have been taken of the place making a different take on it hard to achieve!Lovely shot. Where is this?

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Ah but you seem to have got round that problem by going out at 5am

Opinion seems fairly divided between the two versions. I decided to enter the Antique Light one to the PPG. Thanks everyone for the comments.

Antique light for me. Both versions have lots of appeal but there's just a hint of artificial light colour cast in #1.

Jings but those are lovely shots. Normally I would plump for the antique tone but I really like the light and colour of the background of the first image. Either way I'd be more than happy to have taken either one. Can you imagine that scene with a wee bit of mist playing about.
