The Lion
I think what I like about this shot is that the out-of-focus background is more important and emphasised by the foreground detail. (I’d like to say it was deliberate….!)
.. and taken on film!

Fantastic shot!
That looks like a pretty special looking painting back there…
Love the Lion standing watch…
Venice Huh! Is there anything ugly in Venice? Doesn’t seem to be.
This one’s a favourite!

I see what you mean, i think it really works well with the background out of focus, the elements compliment one another rather than fighting each other…...i like it!!
Catherine Davis

Stunning shot of the Piazza in Venice, truly well taken and I would have guessed on film, the grain is gorgeous.

film indeed. earlier this year I happened to be back in Venice and took a similar shot again : the new shot was on a better lens and arguably had better composition… but there’s something in the way the film handled this shot that makes me prefer this one! Thanks for all your comments!
