Dear friends ,

I took this picture in Venice. I don't know ! What is she thinking ? You enjoy it. Burak Erek

-----------------------
Venice is considere one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The city buildings and decorations, from Byzantine to Renaissance styles, show great artistic achievement. The works of the Venetian school of painting and art are represented throughout Venetian palaces, public buildings, and churches.
The center and most frequented part of the city is Saint Mark’s Square. At the eastern end are Saint Mark’s Cathedral and the Doges’ Palace (Palazzo Ducale), the two most important and imposing structures in Venice. The cathedral—begun about 828, reconstructed after a fire in 976, and rebuilt between 1047 and about 1071—is considered an outstanding example of Byzantine architecture. The palace—begun about 814, destroyed four time by fire, and each time rebuilt on a more magnificent scale—is a remarkable building in Italian Gothic with some early Renaissance elements. The northern side of the piazza is occupied by the Procuratie Vecchie (1496) and the southern side by the Procuratie Nuove (1584), both built in Italian Renaissance style. During the time of the Venetian republic these buildings were the residences of the nine procurators, or magistrates, from among whom the doge, or chief magistrate, was usually selected.
Along the two palaces and their extension, the Atrio or Fabbrica Nuova (1810) extend arcades with cafés and shops. Near the Doges’ Palace stand two famous granite columns erected in 1180, one bearing the winged lion of Saint Mark and the other Saint Theodore of Studium on a crocodile. The most conspicuous feature of the city is the campanile, or bell tower, of Saint Mark, which is about 91 m (about 300 ft) high; it was built between 874 and 1150 and reconstructed after it collapsed in 1902.
In the rear of the Doges’ Palace is the famous Bridge of Sighs, which connects the palace with public prisons and was the route by which prisoners were taken to and from the judgment hall. The most famous of the three bridges spanning the Grand Canal is the Rialto (1588), lined with a double row of shops. The Grand Canal, the principal traffic artery of Venice, is lined with old palaces of the Venetian aristocracy, among which are many structures of historical and architectural renown. Farther north, near the lagoon, is the 15th-century Church of San Giovanni in Bragora, a domed and columned edifice in the Italian Gothic style and once the funeral church of the doges. In its vicinity is the greatest monument in Venice, the 15th-century equestrian statue of the Venetian general Bartolomeo Colleoni, the work of the Florentine artist Andrea del Verrocchio.The same section is the site of the Arsenal, a former center of shipbuilding, and public gardens. Islands extend to the east in the direction of the Lido, an island reef outside the lagoon that is famous as a bathing beach and recreational resort. Great museums, such as the Ca’ d’Oro (located in a Gothic palace on the Grand Canal) and historic churches are found throughout the city. The Libreria Vecchia (Old Library) contains about 13,000 manuscripts and more than 800,000 books, some of immense value. The University of Venice was founded in 1868.

What is she thinking? Hmmm tough question to ponder. The composition however is very nice and simple. I like it because there is one person missing and that provides many interpretation. Very good perspective and idea. Well done.

Roberto

Hi Burak,
Excellent composition. Good DOF. I guess she is looking forward to her new life :)
With Greetings from India

Bom dia amigo Burak,
This is definately a very romantic place and a proper one to marry, but did she choose the right guy? It could be a scene of a movie, hehehe. Excellent dof. I love to see the beautiful scenary in the background. Well caught!
Have a nice day,
Ricardo

Merhaba Burak Bey,
Günlük hayattan sıradışı bir kare, Kadraj süper olmuş.Elinize, gözünüze sağlık.

Hi Burak,
She is obviously worried by the thought of the gondola, as she's pretty sure she'll get sick!
Well framed image with good details, pleasant light...
Composition is to my liking, with good lines!
Greetings,
Pablo -


:-) BRB! OK-

Hi Burak,

I’ve took the same photo of her one year ago; she’s a street performer and she’s always dress like that to get some coins.

Aaaahhh! I’m joking! I guess it’s very romantic to get married in Venice and you’ve caught the mood of her special moment. The light is beautiful and you’ve placed her perfectly so we can have an idea of what she’s looking at.

Nicely done,

André

Bonjour, mon ami Burak,
Se marier à Venise, n'est-ce pas le rêve de nombreuses femmes !
De plus, le cadrage est parfait pour faire ressortir la beauté de cette jeune mariée.
Très jolie composition.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Burak,
A very pleasing composition with good colors and DOF. Best wishes.
Danilo

Hi Burak.

Unusuall picture from Venice.

Obviously she is worried about the gondola and the dress... :P

Rgs, Oscar

Hi Burak, I like the idea, however I think that this is not good to have all this mess in front of her, there are too many things which distract our eyes (the posts, the guy that we cannot see what is he doing here). Otherwise I liek the buildings in the background.
Kindly
Yan

Merhaba Burak

A good daily life shot from Venice. Perhaps I would burn the mans white shirt to make it darker, & increase the brightness & contrast in the brides gown. Strong highlights usually steal attention away from the main subject. Otherwise well done!

Hi Burak!
Fascinating and very romantic photo! Very expressive moment and inward mood! Excellent composition and very good timing! Fabled shot!
Thank you, nice days
George

Merhaba Burek,

Really funny capture. I understand she is not not alone but it looks like she is and she looks so malplaced. I guess it looked very a few minutes later. Very well seen and an excellent job!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Burak, yes what is she thinking......I like the simplicity of this composition. Good depth of colour which adds to the overall mood. Well captured.
Warm regards

Merhaba Burak,

Bu fotografın güzel yönlerinin yanısıra gelin dışındaki etrafı biraz kalabalık olarak algılıyorum ,Orada duran beyaz gömlekli gondolcü da göz alıyor. Bu durumlarda açık diyafram kullanarak, şahsen olaya biraz daha yaklaşmaya çalışıyorum. Güzel yönlerine gelince, an fotografı olması, mekanin güzelliği, ve tatlı bir ışık diye siralayabiliriz. Sevgiler - Izzet

Merhaba Burak
A good compo. Keeping the bride on the left looking into the frame & thinking, maybe about her future. Who knows? Good DOF here to show us this scene in this romantic city
Regards
Angshu

I think she is worrying about getting in and out of the gondola in her stunning dress; she is afraid she will fall into the dirty canal water.
Another new "take" on this popular destination. Well composed with all the rest of the frame for her to look into.

Merhabalar,
Cok hos, güzel ve piril piril bir fotograf.
Gelinin ne düsündügüne gelince; gondolcuyla pazarliga girisen cicegi burnunda damatin haline ümitsizce bakip, dügün gününde bile böylesine cimri olabilen bir adamla nasil evlenebildigine sasip üzülüyor... gibi geldi bana:)

Ellerinize saglik.
Aliza.

I've never been to Venice but I find this compo typical from the atmosphere I imagine I could find there : romance, poetry, beauty... Good pov and dof.
Stéphane

Hello Berek,
Nice composition with this thinking bride wel paced on it. I wonder also what is she thinking so focused! Maybe she's dreaming of a tour on one of this charming, typical Venetian boats.
I like the colours of the covers of the boats spread thru the water giving to the photo a nice coloured mood.
Regards.
Paulo

burak,
i think hidden face of the bride makes this shot look more dramatic, it is like her mind, unknown to us what she is thinking!
the city on the backlground is nice touch.

But did she really took a gondola?....poor dress I don't wanna think about the end of it!. Strange picture of Venice, but quite nice, full of light and colour. Very lively :)
