Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Tue, 01/08/19 18:35 Your image reminds me of growing up in Vancouver, B.C. where rain was a constant companion in most seasons and that rain could really effect one's mood. The image is especially effective in a b&w format with the inclusion of the umbrella adding to the mood of the picture. Venice I would imagine from what I can see by the docks and across the water. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Wed, 01/09/19 11:49 How thoughtful of you...;-)I like the distance city in the mist. Comments by Jeff Dye on Wed, 01/09/19 14:17 There’s a lot going on here but in an organized way. Obviously it starts with the shape of the umbrella and the print patterns. Squares, rectangles and diagonal leading lines in the the sidewalk. More verticals and horizontals in the wood walkway and other structures over the water. And on into the misty background. Comments by Bruce Hunter on Thu, 01/10/19 03:14 Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Sometimes we get too close and too enamored of our own own photo shots. Getting a fresh perspective is always welcome.....Often, I hold back offering a critique because I don't feel I can be perceptive enough to offer helpful comments. We should all have Jan's talent in that regard. I do, however, look forward to logging in on a regular basis to see the world as other PCritique members see and record it. Comments by Dale Chadwick on Thu, 01/10/19 07:18 It is a great picture. But. To me it's two different scenes that tend to distract from one another: the umbrella and the dock with the city in the background. Comments by Bruce Hunter on Thu, 01/10/19 13:00 Two for the price of one ! :-) Sometimes, there are aspects of a photo that work for me but the whole is not = to the sum of its parts, ....now,Here below is one like that : no edit makes the scene work, but there are parts I like.... Comments by Bruce Hunter on Thu, 01/10/19 13:35 EUREKA ! I think I finally found an edit for this that works for me....an edit I'd never even thought to try before . I'm OVER MY WEEKLY LIMIT for posts , but I'll post next week. WARNING ! My edit probably won't work for anybody else. It took me a minute or two to see it myself. Comments by Paul Bracey on Sat, 01/12/19 03:32 Venice is awesome. Nice work! Comments by Bruce Hunter on Fri, 01/18/19 12:17 Thank you....I sometimes think one could walk through Venice, take photos blindfolded and come away with a good percentage of"keepers".
