Taken atop the tower that overlooks St. Mark's Square in Venice, while I was in Italy over the summer doing my study abroad program in Bologna.
A decent amount of D/B'ing to bring out, what i thought to be, some of the more interesting features of the landscape, such as the Domed structure in the top left, the clouds in the sky, and parts of the arcade in the plaza.
Minor cropping
Minor cloning
bumped saturation (though not much, I was very lucky w/ the quality of the lighting this day) - looks good to me but i'm wondering if my monitor is off??
Multiple minor "s" curve adjustments
Neat Image
sat/curve
USM
Save for Web
Not my fave of 2006 but my fave of what i had available b/c I left my external HD at my parent's house :(

Beautiful detalis from front to back with sharpness throughout. Wish I could see this at full rez. And considering the light you had to work with it's amazing.
Superb point of view and you did very well in the post-processing, not going
too far with it and getting a tremendous amount of detail out of it.
Well done!
wonderful image of a great city...never seen this vantage point of St Marks Square...wonderful rich colours and vibrancy...you should get a postcard done
