Venice in the rain

Comment by Neat:
WOW I totally love this, it's amazing.
Everything about it, the blur, the lined up chairs, the arches and the rain and brolly, the tones well done. Adding as a fave.

It really is quite lovely in B&W. The focus is more on the form and the feel. I particularly like the squigglies in the lower right - looks almost like a signature in Asian language characters.

I like how small the guy and his little boat are. When we think we are so important, just look at this, and realize the world is so much bigger than we are! (wow, that got me going, didn't it?) Love the warm tones.

So gloomy and yet positive at the same time, I like this scene.

Gorgeous light, shadows and toning. Classic shot but with personality. Love it.

Hmm, I don't remember this shot. With my computer breaking I unfortunately didn't get to go over all of my votes again and adjust them after my initial quick categorization (which is how I normaly vote). It'd have got a 7 if I had (instead of the 6 I gave it - sorry). I prefer your b&w boat shot (I even favoruited it), but this is still a really fine photo and I think picking the image you're most happy with is important. The toning is really nice, but it's the man in the archway the really makes the shot for me.
