This is a gorgeous scene with such nice color throughout. You captured the light and the reflections very well. The scattered gondolas create a lovely balance and the distance of the water and buildings in the background draw the eye through the image smoothly.

This without a doubt one of the best exposed night scenes I can remember seeing. The water in the canal is turning from blue to more indigo. The shot shows life happening all around. The distant sky's last show of color before nightfall.... Magnificent! DOF is fabulous. As mentioned earlier the exposure and focus are top notch. B-)) Bob

Lovely night scene in Venice showing the gondolas on the canal, the lilac sky and the bright lights lining the canal. I like the angle you used for this. Excellent lighting and focus. Very good composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Oh my! All the necessary camera techniques went into this photo and it is magnificent. So much beauty captured with your shot. Your photo is nicely framed and your overall composition is excellent. Your photo just draws us into the canal and at night time with all the lights and reflections of the light so beautifully captured. Your colors, lighting, and details with a perfect depth of field make this an outstanding photo. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest!

A great shot. I like the way the residual light in the sky colors the water. The lights along the canal accentuate the curving path of the canal beautifully. Good luck in the voting.
