Alf Caruana replied
some I do, others come from a hires library, the image is made up of around 20 layers so theres quite a few textures, thanks for looking Hans and all the best
Hans Kawitzki
wow,20 layers,no wonder the image has so much depth,thanks for your explanation Alf.

This is beautiful, Alf – wonderful editing and it suits a city such as grand old Venice to be portrayed in this way. As for the Mona Lisa…nope, she’s not there, she missed her gondola ride and will have to wait for the next one… ; )

Stunning work Alf.Yes I found her, she was mysteriously smiling at me and then my eyes went up and to the left and…I found Dante.Very clear, can you find him?
Alf Caruana replied
thankyou Gilberte, I’m afraid you have me at a disadvantage I can’t see Dante :)
frozenfa
Mona Lisa?! took me awhile and… i found her!!! YAY!! hehe.. XD
Alf Caruana replied
yay for you! thanks for commenting :)
Anthony Vella
Excellent artwork Alf. You,ve managed to set time a few hundred yeas back with this image. As for the beautiful Lady Mona, of course I found her, less than half a minute of searching….no beautiful Lady will escape my eyes. As for Betty’s Dante, I think he’s eluded me altogether or else gone back to Florence.
Sean Farragher
beautiful work

Fantastic work Alf. I agree with a previous poster re the layers and the image having so much depth. It obviously took a lot of time, but well worth it!
I also found the Mona Lisa too. Took me about 20 seconds (viewed full size) but I think it was very well placed though. :)
Alf Caruana replied
thankyou Marek appreciate the comment
brian pendrey
awesome work
Alf Caruana replied
thankyou :)
Gilberte
Hi Alf..at the height of Mona Lisa, you go to the utter left and then 5cm upwards:you will see Dante’s white profile, eyes, nose, mouth, pointed chin and he has a headcover like a laurel tiara.You can’t miss him; he is a goodlooking man; maybe he has a moustache!! and when your eyes come slowly down again you’ll see he is wearing a coat, you see his arm and white hand holding branches.
Take a magnifying glass, it’s worth while!!
Alf Caruana replied
yes I can see him Gilberte, great creative imagination you have there!
Anette Tyler
Beautiful. Love the textures and the composition is just fantastic
