The King and His Kingdom, a photo from Venice, Veneto

Photographer's Note

The image is a bit proceeded, a kinda variation of HDR technique..., and the face of this thinking King...you can find it Here
But he was standing there, all alone with his mobile telephone, that I've tryed to avoid taking:)
Still Venice, but in this position like 300 years ago:)
Thanks to all:)

Amazing composition, so fiull of colours, looking like coming from a different age. This is surrealistic as well. A very good post-processing. Congratulations.

fabulous atmosphere! great composition and artistic presentation. tfs

albertopiubello (2623) 2007-03-03 6:51

Ciao Maja,
la foto � bella per la sua ottima definizione e per la composizione originale. Il telefonino magari l'avrei preso, sarebbe stato un "elemento di rottura" interessante, a meno che tu non volessi farci fare un viaggio indietro nel tempo.
Buon we!
Alberto

hi Maja, ta je izbrstna, u啼č mi je da si ga slikala od zadaj, lepa perspektivain dokaj temne barve, ali si jih ti tako obdelala da njegov obleka pride do izraza.
Mej se , lep vikend (to kaj je od njega ostalo)

Come hai fatto a trovare solo una maschera, veramente notevole
e in che anno l'hai fatto dato che negli ultimi anni c'� stato il sole.

Saluti

Hi Miuky,
I could sense that the picture was post processed but I love the work you have done on this. The saturated colours appear very beautiful indeed. But even without them, the POV is excellent. I love a lot of your recent works. Keep up the good work.
With Greetings from India

Hello Miuky,

Lots of details to see.
Nice colors and tones too.
Regards,
JB.

Hi Maja. Good use of the carnival setting to get this timeless composition of the "king" watching out on the water. Nice framing to have the man and the background tower in balanced positions relative to each other. The foreground layer of gondolas and the red boarding pier are well included, too. A bit of a pity with that pole "growing" out of the guy's head but it's a minor detail in an otherwise nice shot.

eza1701 (3345) 2007-03-04 9:32

This is a well spotted photo opportunity and you seized it perfectly. I know what you mean, it looks like an image from a bygone age.

Best regards,
Paul.

Zivjo Maja;
Lepe barve in kompozicija. Moz me spominja na starodavnega pomorscaka in zgleda, kot da bo glihkar odplul.

Zdravo Maja,
krasno! To bi lahko bil prvi kader filma o Casanovi ;)))) Mo�, ki ga je 枡na prevarala 枡 kliče prijatelje, da se gredo ma�čevat ;))) Seveda je bilo to pozivanje prijateljev v časih Casanove malo bolj počasno ;))) Super barve, super vse.
... ma si jih pa na嗾epala novih fotk tačas... sem jih kar nekaj pogledal... prva misel: bejba je dobila zavarovalnino! Ma potem sem prebral kako je bilo s 300mm/f2.8... 殻oda, prav bi ti ga privo�ču (čeprav je malo velik in te杪k)... ampak 12-24mm pa si ubodla? Ga izbiram 枡 kar nekaj časa tudi jaz... in ga verjetno ne bom izbral 啼 dolgo ;)))

Lep vikend tudi tebi... mogoče se pa res srečava kje... ampak ti si prehitra zame... mi se premikamo kot vojska... najprej pe啾dija (jaz), potem oklepniki (moja ta mala v vozičku), potem intendanti s kuhinjo (moja punca)... too much logistike in poln avto za cel dan naokoli ;))

jrj (34843) 2007-03-16 7:37

This is a fun and very well made shot from Venezia Maja. Every detail well placed and even the shades inside the frame is perfect here. Stylish, well made and top disposed.

Hi Miuky.
Nice picture of a tremendous city.
You really managed to portraid the city in an original and funny way with a great view on the gondolas, the grand canal and the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute.

Thanks, Ingrid
