Wonderful night image! I particularly like these atmospheres secret, these areas of darkness and light! The mystery of reflections! The framing is perfect! I would love to be on the pontoon! (Sorry for my broken English!) Good day.

Marie-Jezaria from Paris, France

Venice the romantic... Her reputation is not false ! When you see that sort of romantic decor, you can imagine what is the feeling of this rich sensibility emotion accumulated during many centuries ! Bravo !

@Marie-Jezaria: Thanks - it is the many centuries of history that is so appealing

MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom

How the light falls as reflections on the water. Perfect!

@MrsAmber: Thanks - I think the night lights on the water are so magical, it just helps having a tripod for these shots.

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom

An odd but true observation, they eye (well my eye) went immediately to the lone star at top right. Completely missed the body of the picture, I had to force myself to look at the buildings. It still keeps dragging me back

Pretty rare to capture a shot which features just one powerful star perfectly placed in an indigo sky.

@Curly: Thanks Curly, usually I would have cropped this scene lower, but wanted to include the star:)

daniela scharnowski from Berlin, Germany

Thrilling! the star is really an unexpected eyecatcher here, brilliant colours and compo - and free of spiders lol, just kidding ;)
your venice shots are so fantatstic I enjoy them so much! I took the venice prints from my father with me the last time - old photos from 1978 - and they´re excellent but all turned red by now. I wanted to scan them and see what I can do, will post if some turn out good ( between us - the red toning looks great also, but that´s just me thinking loud...)

27 Mar 2010 8:46pm

@daniela scharnowski: Thanks Daniela for your kind comments. It would be great to see your father's Venice photos and never mind about the red toning, I'm sure it will be right for the age of the photos.

Christel from Köln, Germany

Good evening Kiwisa,
It is a beautiful night scene with brilliant colors and reflections. I think, right above the sky I see a star. Have a nice weekend and thanks for your nice comment. Dear greetings Christel

27 Mar 2010 10:02pm

@Christel: Yes there is a single star twinkling above Venice. Enjoy your weekend too.
