I love this.

The day is done, sailboats all tucked in. Night is descending and the city is aglow!

portofino is a fun word to say. it just rolls off the tongue very well.

Wow, Fred, this is gorgeous! I love the glowing lights reflecting off the building and water, super sail boats in the f/g with excellent DOF. Sharp focus, exposure and framing. Just beautiful!;)

This lighting does appeal to me. I like the warm glow of the tungsten lights along the waterfront mixed with the evening light on the foreground boats and in the sky. The composition is very fine and the panoramic cropping works well.

Beautiful Night Photography.
The lights on the buildings, the sail boats in the foreground and the background of the mountains and homes really bring this whole scene together for what I would call a Great Photo. Thanks for sharing it. Royal

Comment from Kbanich
A beautiful night shot. The lights are just enough to offer that soft glow to the boats. My bucket list has a trip to Italy (my husbands origins); I want to do the culinary tour.

Fred this is truly a wonderful piece. I like your frame and presentation. Your crop and presentation are just right for successfully framing the story or scene. Focus is clear and defined, nice shooting - Kathy

I love how it looks like the city is just glowing. This is a really neat picture to look at. The boats in the front with the city behind and then the hills in the back. So much to look at packed into one picture. Great job!
