Country - Italy   Italy
About Subject Background: View from the Rialto bridge. The title give you the idea of this capture...

Photoshop concept: Slight tilt. Worked on the underexposed foreground, worked on the middle tone contrast. Tried to get a postcard from Venice from 1920s (or so) - with faded/desaturated colors.

As always: Honest feedback highly appreciated.

Excellent work Thilo. What you set out to achieve you did in spades. You have maintained clarity and detail yet given it that overall soft blended feel of a 1920's postcard.

Dear Pedro,

I always love to see that other peope are working with my pictures. That's probably the greatest honor (and more worth than just thousands of hits or awards).

I like your version a lot and I do recognize the Pedro style here ;-)
great work. You keep the strong sky and the interesting houses in the back but go for more saturation and contrast. very good my friend.

thanks for your creative input. always appreciate your support my friend.
take care,
thilo

I think that you have acgieved your purpose with the treatement that you have used here, it really looks an old postcard of Venice, but a wonderful view it is. Well I would go for a stonger contrasted and vivid colors ...I would like to see it to...let me try to see my version...:-) ...I will post it to you in some moments
regards...

Hi Ursula,

das ist ja der Witz an den alten Fotos: Die sehen manchmal wirklich wie gemalt aus. Habe einige Reiseführer aus der Zeit, und da sehen die Fotos wirklich wie gezeichnet aus ;-)

LG,
Thilo

Hi Thilo,je öfter ich mir dieses Bild anschaue,umso besser gefällt es mir...;-)Wie Du das so hingekriegt hast,ist mir ein Rätsel...es
sieht mehr gemalt aus,oder wie eine Radierung,als ein Foto...
Schönes Wochenende,Ursula

Thilo this is excellent. The more I look at it, the more I want to look into it !!

Amazing work and a magnificent composition. You have done a fabulous job of slightly desaturating the colours.

Very impressed indeed :-)

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi Stefan,

okay, I see your point here ;-)
I had to put some light onto the foreground as it was too dark there (no tripod ;-)

thanks for the valuable input,

Stefan Engström   {K:24473} 10/7/2004
The lower right hand part of the photo lies in shadow and to me it is hard to really make it exciting - it is just sort of flat not matter what you do there. The upper left has a lot of beautiful light going however and I think that your treatment integrates the two parts.

Hi Hugo,

thanks for the creative feedback ;-)

The tilt story get you in trouble, I see. Easy story: The original image has a tilt to the right... no idea why. probably because I loved the scene too much =) So I tilted the image just to bring it into the right shape. If you look at the poles in the middle, you will see what I mean.

thanks for the kind words, I always try to do something different ;-)

take care,
thilo

Hi Ursula,

versuch bloß nicht, dieses rating-system zu verstehen. das ist mit verlaub ziemlicher unfug, und ich werde meine bilder vermutlich demnächst "critique only" reinstellen, weil mir das zu kindisch ist.

aber danke für die "6" =)

WOW!!!! the subdued palette and lighting knock me out,Thilo!..this is how i have always imagined Venice...the background buildings have a vintage postcard look,but the foreground up to the older look has a more modern appearance..does have a fine painting look,too...be proud of this one,Thilo!..perspective and max DOF are superb..Bravo,baby!...regards,gayle (7+)

What a view! fantastic composition and color tones, it is definitely a postcard. I guess the guys on the right side will make bit hard to beleive it's 1920 :) Wonderfull one my friend!

Hugo de Wolf Hugo de Wolf   {K:185110} 10/6/2004
Hi Thilo, Post card? No. 20s Look? Definately. Slight tilt? Now you mention it, yeah. But why? Interesting shot? Absolutely.

The subdued tones create a somewhat painted atmosphere and do make this image quite timeless. I do think this works better than any sepia toning in this particular photo with this particular scene. Interesting concept. Don't quite get the idea behind the tilt, though. Is it to give it a snapshot quality as well? If so, I think the photo is too well composed for that, and the tilt is too little...

Always enjoy looking at what has sprouted from your mind, pushing the envelope of photography inch by inch. Good job!

Cheers,

Hugo

nice faded colors!
excellent DOF the image is super and the PS work enhanced it, but it doesn't look like a postcard?!
Maybe because I never saw one from the 20s ;)
7/7

Thilo, I am not quite getting that "Postcard" feeling. I think that if the water were not reflecting the bright sky so much....and the water was much darker, it would have that feeling. Darker water..more vintage image.
...Best regards! Brad

I think that your postcard treatment works well. Can't do too much about the light on the foreground but you integrated it well into the chosen concept.

Beautiful results from your work on this. I was looking at it closely wondering what was done before seeing your comment on it. I love the toning you have achieved along with the clarity. 7+++
