Orange House II by Kevin Bergen
Walking through the canals in Venice, California, these houses stood out and grabbed my attention. It was morning, and this is just how bright the colors were—no play with saturation in this.

very pleasing colours and shapes
Thanks so much, Nadine! I posted this earlier companion piece, The Orange House I appreciate the feedback!

I love the whole idea……it is colors at their best – I’d say move forward and follow your instincts. As a card it looks great and it could certainly be sold locally as a tourist take away….as a print it looks almost like a drawing and you could even play with contrasts, etc. All around it says Venice canals all the way.
Thanks so much for your helpful and supportive comments!! Always nice to hear your thoughts!

Hey, you said you didn’t get anything good, and now you post two amazing ones. We’re you just trying to make me feel better about my junk photo adventure? Jerk… ;-)
ROFL!! Actually, no, I didn’t think I had anything when I came home from the shoot. I should learn—it’s often not ‘til I settle down in front of the computer that I get a better angle on what I have. Glad you like this one. I’m pretty happy with it.

Wow-nicely done Kevin this is a plethora of colors and is captured perfectly the reflection is fantastic looks like a pic out of Dwell magazine.
Thank you, Ron! Not familiar with Dwell, but I’m guessing it’s something like Sunset Magazine, lot’s of homes, design, living. On that note, yeah!—they should use this for a cover, huh??? lol

Great colors. A happy feeling with this shot – I hope the people living in the houses feel happy too!
Yes, I keep thinking it’d be fun to print some of these Venice shots up as greeting cards and present them to the residents. Thanks so much for your comment!
