Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Collection: Vehicles
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Location: Italy
Date: May 22, 2006
Galleries: Architecture, Water
Date Uploaded: Mar 7, 2009

 Took this picture in 2006 on a trip to Italy with my son Brian. An incredible trip and a memory for a lifetime. What a picturesque country. I like this picture because of the reflections in the water of the colorful buildings which are in contrast to the colors of the boats. It may not be my best picture ever but I love the memories that it represents.

interesting the way the boats look like they are about to slide of the water.

The reflections here are obviously the star of the show, and you did a great job enhancing them without pushing the color too much.

FABULOUS color in the reflections. Well seen and photographed. The boats could be a little bit more exciting with some PP, I think...

Nice and sharp but the composition doesn't really hold my attention very long.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The reflections are gorgeous!!! It's almost as if the boats have another life in the reflections below them. The photo is tilted a lot, though, I think it would be stronger if it were straightened. And a bit more contrast might work too.

Looks like you tilted this to improve the framing but the result is disconcerting.

Interesting choice to let the reflection fill more of the frame. It does create interest; the colors are very nice.

Interesting effect. It really does look like they should be sliding left. The fact that they are all on the right really creates an odd balance.

I like this one a lot. 9'd it.

Nice pic with the colorful house reflections.

Fabulous reflection. A lot of texture and play with the light. The boats themselves are oddly flat.

Great reflection shot, I love the use of the boats to add perspective and framing along the top, also adds a bit of personality to the colorful buildings' reflections.

I like how you used the reflection to show the buildings, rathing than composing with the boats below the buildings.
