 Not sure this is my "best" of 2011, (whatever that is anyway!), but it's one of my personal favourites, even if it is a bit of a typical Venice tourist pic.

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.

Love the light and the heavy contrast. It adds to this 'slice of life' image.

Nice architecture, and excellent capture of the guy walking and framed by the arch. The lamp post on the right looks like it is holding up the sky.

Wonderful silhouettes, especially the man framed in the archway.

Cool use of light and shadows. The sun really appeared at the perfect time from the wall of clouds.

This is very interesting capture. I view this image many times. It's so stunning and pleasant to viewer eyes for the great dynamic tone in this shot. Well done!

I really like this image. Wonderful lighting, capture and perfect details with the silhouetted people and surroundings. I particularly love the way everyone is in motion.

Lovely, everything about it. THe arches the street lamps, the people, great PP as well.

The light is magnificent. I especially love that wee starburst on the second floor, and the footstep, of course.

A very pretty street scene, silhouetted figures going about their business at a beautiful time of day, very nice.

Day stretches across the piazza.
Walks of life are illuminated
Pounding across the pavement.

The B&W tones are great; very dynamic. Love how we see silhouetted among the city square all 'walks' of daily life. A very nicely captured street shot.

I just love all of the silhouettes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/10/2012 08:33:29 AM
very nice lighting, i may have tried to put the horizon closer to the bottom third line, cutting out some of the foreground. the silhouettes are much more interesting.
