Really beautiful!

A good abstract, Jeremy.

Clean and pure lines. One of the best Venice shots I've seen lately, really!
Bravo

+1.

Perfect.  Unambiguously Venice, yet marvelously understated.

I looked and thought, a striking image no matter what it is. Then I went online and looked up Gondola, and there it was the connection to Venice. Did you expose just for highlights on this one?

Thanks, all!

John, I accidentally underexposed by just over 2 stops. (One irritation of the Canon 5Ds, and possibly other cameras as well, is that you can't say "underexpose this shot but then revert to normal", or at least I've not found out how to do that; my absentmindedness results in the next shot (at least) being wrongly exposed. But I digress). I thought I could do something with the result anyway. I went out that evening to take some more, similar shots, but didn't return with anything I liked very much.

I learned that technique from Freeman Patterson in my early years of photography. When you have strong contrasty light you can expose for the light and let the other areas go black, especially on slide film. Your image has a lot of impact. As for absentmindedness, I have the same problem, so can't help you;)

Very nice, just the essentials!

[JNB_Rare]

Very cool!

[Arlen]

A very strong image, indeed. Eye catching and thought provoking.

As my mother was fond of saying, "never look a gift horse in the mouth."  Many of my best photos involved an element of serendipity.  That shot is a real eye-catcher.

My Nikons all do that.  In addition to exposure compensation, I've inadvertently left bracketing on, resulting in exposure mayhem that can remain undiscovered for several subsequent exposures.

We need protection against forgetfulness.  A "reset all" button would do this, but I've never seen one.
