So aptly named:-) An exceptional image. I've always been captivated with scenes like this.

Einfach nur schön, auch der gewählte Titel passt sehr gut zum Bild. Und ich denke hier hat das Lensbaby Konkurenz durch PS gehabt oder liege ich da falsch? ;-) Klaus - 12 May 2008
Du liegst ganz richtig Klaus, zu der Zeit hatte ich die Lensbaby leider noch nicht :) m a r t a - 12 May 2008
Marta....as a wide angle fanatic, I'm fascinated by this photo. I love the perspective!
Do you mind if I ask how you achieved the blur on the edges...it looks great! Ian Bramham - 12 May 2008
la llum al centre de l'aigua i els reflexes dels edificis queda molt maco , una perspectiva molt bona.

Ian - it's a vignette blur. You can do it "manually" or using plugins/filters/actions that will do that more easily. To do it manually I personally prefer irregular selections (rather than elliptical, for example), copy on new layer and play with the blur (gaussian, motion) and layer opacity...it depends on the picture. m a r t a - 12 May 2008
Classy image! By bronzing the canal you not only antiqued it but you also gave it a classic feel. I've seen canals like these so I can only imagine how noisy with drab colors the original must have been.

Thanks Marta...I'll give it a try! Ian Bramham - 12 May 2008

The blur gives it a surreal quality. And the toning & perspective make this a fine unique shot of an often photographed subject. Jim - 12 May 2008

Lovely shot. I like the view and the soft focus effect. Nice tones and composition too. John Maslowski - 12 May 2008
Hola,
Me gusta mucho la luz, la composición pero sobre todo el tratameinto del Negro y Blanco
Splendid work. The Venetian atmosphere is quite well captured, with these "chocoloate" tones. Love it. Jonas - 13 May 2008
Great lensbaby shot. I like the color, it really looks like chocolate :p) Miro at LightIsAllAround.com - 13 May 2008
I don't recall this scene in the Willy Wonka movie. Just hand me a large spoon and me room to work. Great color treatment and I like the DOF here. Sean - 14 May 2008
Qué linda! buen trabajo, podemos decir una delicia de foto. Cómo me gusta Venecia!
I love the softness of your images. Very impressive. Jesse Moscoe - 31 May 2008
This is unbelievably good. The texture on the water is spot on and great blur job as well. 360 Pixels - 10 Jun 2008
Realmente "apetitosa" !! ;) Muy bien usado el desenfoque y sobre todo felicitades por tu nominación en Photo Friday! Además por partida doble!! Todo queda en casa! ;) José-Angel - 08 May 2009
so creative and fantastic result as usual! Well done! micha - 12 May 2009
Chocolate river is a beautiful example of how selective depth of field can really make a photo. It reminds me of an old restored photo, with the tones warmed up and that old nostalgic feel. Like it was shot on medium format film with rails for adjusting the bellows and focal planes. Excellent! Restoring old photos - 05 Oct 2009
