    Venice reflection 1

    Hi guys.

    I took this one yesterday in Venice together with some more that I will submit later. It was high water and the guy was taking a picture of the cathedral in Saint Mark Square. I wanted to give as little reference as possible above the water level and leave just the picture reflected in the water. Do you think it works? Or the legs are just.... weird? Thanks as usual for your input

    I like the way you've captured your reflection, I'd probably have tried to crop it differently, how not quite sure, I'd have to play around with it, probably a bit off the tip to under the knee and then a bit from the bottom?
    :thumbsup: Shootme...

    Please don't edit and re-post or use my images (not that you'd want to anyway...). without my written permission. Thank you

    don't crop at joints. Try it between the knee and ankles

    also, not sure what the light colored horizontal strips are?

    Very nice capture. Maybe take just a little off of the bottom.

    Hi Caleb and thanks a lot.
    the light coloured horizontal strips are the marble inserts on the floor of the square.
    Ciao
