Simply Venice

Beautiful bright colours without going OTT on the post processing, well done for that, cracking image and I love how it almost fills the frame, the only thing that stopped it being in the top ten was the empty space bottom right corner, great shot though.

What a love about this photo is the subtle toning, it' been done so well. I love the mist that is covering the dome and the fact the photographer has worked with the conditions and not against them, another reason for choosing this as my winner is the fact this image could have been taken anytime in the last 50 years or so, the only thing that gives the age of the photo away is the fact it's shot on a Fuji XT1, cracking image

Of all the blurry gondola shots that were entered and there we quite a few this one really stood out for me, not everyones cup of tea but i love it, it just goes to show being different and being brave with entries can often pay off, thanks for entering.

What is there not to love about this image? nothing at all, the colours are just wonderful and I love the effect caused by the slow shutter speed, the blurred boats really add to this fantastic image, well done and thanks for entering.

Unmistakably Venice, very few photos of people were entered into this contest so it was very refreshing to see this photo of a Gondolier, whether it's a posed image or not doesn't matter it works so well and the mono conversion just adds to the photo, it wouldn't have worked so well in colour. great shot.
