you really have to look at the large version to get the real feel:

Awesome shot... and I'm so jealous... hope you had a spectacular time
I like the 'all inclusive' look of the shot - I think it gives you a feel for the location.

Nice picture, I really like the lighting.
Only the boat on the right side is a little disturbing.
Maybe you can make a crop of the left half of the picture, maybe even make it a portrait then. This will remove the boat and the "dark" buildings on the right.

Another shot i took in Venice. I really like this one. Is there anything i can do to improve it?

Really nice composition and colour. I would edit out the lines behind her head. It's not clear what they are and a bit distracting.

kunaldaswani, lucky, lucky man

First one's OK, showing speed of boat's OK, it's the color that seems off to me. Not a clue why, just the one thing I would have to experiment with.

Second one is very well done (although seems to have the color issue I thought was in first one). Front of nun mimics right side of column base, contrast is effective, although if you went for perfection, the black could have shadows just slightly deeper so the sleeve was better defined. Cut-off hand: whole might be better, could live with this given the quality of the rest of the photo.

I think it might be magenta at a higher level than I'm used to, either from camera or edit?

That definitely looks better. If I can nitpick: I can see a bit of a clone-pattern where you edited the background. But its the right idea, in my humble opinion.

kunaldaswani,

See how varied are the views? I didn't mind the items behind her. But now I notice the repeats in the edit. If you choose from different parts of the wall what to clone over the lines, it will give a more natural look, not processed. Still a very good photograph. It's great to see your work.

I like the original too, brings a bit of contrast to the image. The colours in the stone work is gorgeous!
