terje - Apr, 08 2006 04:04pm What church can be seen? jorgesanchez - Apr, 08 2006 06:04pm It looks like a Canaletto painting! marianne - Apr, 09 2006 05:04am Jorge, I think it is San Giorgio Maggiore davidx - Apr, 09 2006 07:04am I agree with jorge and I thought it much underrated at 2* jorgesanchez - Apr, 09 2006 08:04am Marianne: I would say is Santa Maria Nova dei Miracoli, seen from the Grand Canal. Sure. San Giorgio Maggiore is in the Giudecca island, further to the right in the same direction by the vaporetto. marianne - Apr, 09 2006 11:04am Jorge or is it Santa Maria della Salute? Look at this photo. it also has two copulas and two towers behind the smaller copula http://www.cheapvenice.com/santa-maria-della-salute.htm jorgesanchez - Apr, 09 2006 11:04am Marianne: you are right! Most probably is Santa Maria della Salute. Definitively is not San Giorgio Maggiore. mortimer - Apr, 09 2006 12:04pm The compostition with the canal forming a slight curve, the boat crossing from left to right, the dome of the church in the background is all very good. The fact that the picture was taken with.. ctd mortimer - Apr, 09 2006 12:04pm a cell phone at perhaps 300 to 500 pixel gives this picture the blur and out of focus apperance. The colors are too not very realistic but combined with the softness of the blurring thex mix well ctd mortimer - Apr, 09 2006 12:04pm Let's face it, that with a proper camera equipment, a splendid shot would have been possible and we would give rates in the 4 or 5 range. This pic however has an arty touch as jorge pointed out. ctd mortimer - Apr, 09 2006 12:04pm When looking at it as a piece of modern art we could possibly have a blinking laugh and enjoy. In our gallery where everything is so sober, it's just not clear enough, therefore 1 to 3 stars :-)
