I really like carnival shots, they are so colourful and interesting. I like the composition here and how you shot on an angle and not straight on.

There's something creepy about this. I like the sharpness, though. The background is perfect for setting the scene.

I've always liked masks (I regret not buying one when in Venice) ... nice shot, I feel a tighter crop on the face to accentuate the mask rather than allow us to glance over the persons shoulder

I like the blue touch without drowning you with blue. Rich around the head, more subdued other places. I like the tilt composition. My favorite so far.

Venice???? Love the fabulous details and colors on this. The frogs are great.. Maybe the blurred background a tiny bit darker to make the subject pop more?
