Burano, Venice

[Chica]

We visited the sleepy, beautiful island of Burano, famous for its lace making.

Here's a couple... comments and critique appreciated.









Cheers

I love the colours in this place, everyone seems to paint their house a different colour which makes for some stunning photography...

I like the last image the most, I feel like seeing it with a wider focal length though

I agree with biggerry. Looks like a great place.

In the first pic - the green wall seems to invade a little. The bike is kinda cool and the old school window behind it is interesting too. Maybe you could have focused on that combo of subjects.

Second pic is nice. You were probably restricted by where you could move but it'd be nice to see this one hit from front on for me.

Third pic I agree with biggerry. Brilliant location. I bit wider would be nice. If focal length is a restriction you can always opt to stitch up a pano.

A couple thoughts, but take them with a grain of salt.

I visited this place about 12 years ago. I wish I could go back here now that I know more about photography. Beautiful colours

Beautiful pictures in particular the one with the clothesline
Last time I was there someone told me the houses were painted according to wealth or class status
I think the most well off were blue

[tommyg]

Blue could be true, especially if it goes back a fair way as blue was the most expensive colour to purchase in the past

Great pics, I got one very similar to the third one there. Did you get a shot of the leaning bell tower?

Great color and clarity screaming to printed on canvas and displayed as a series - your walls are going to be chocca
(thought about craft fairs as a sale point ? )

Next time (funds raised from selling photos of this trip) get Tom to remove the penguin shirt on the closelines to give it that timeless quality , love the oversize whites as it says something about who lives there (I image the little old lady) - but guess as it is it also shows a man's home (who shops at Target)

will done

Was thinking about craft fairs actually... not quite sure best way to go about it though... have to think about size of prints to offer etc... one guy in town sells magnets and cards, and they seem to be a winner. Certainly something to think about. etzy.com and handmade.com.au also have the facility to sell photographs so mught be worth investigating.
