A Little Trip to Italy

[J_T]

Hey guys! I just went to Italy over the summer and had a great time taking pictures and I think this is some of my best work...
But I still want to hear all the critique you can give! I've posted a few photos over the past few months and haven't been geting many replies so please comment on this one. I want everyone's opinion

#1

Traveling to Italy on the ship

#2

Venice's (Italy) famous canals...

#3

Colourful!

I like the canal pic. Whenever I see things like that, I wonder what year that was built in.
Post some more of the canals if you have some.

#1 is nearly abstract, and perhaps that is its highest use. Make it really abstract, and it might show better. Be sure to straighten it also.
#2 should be better than it is. It might be the balance, or composition, or simply a lack of human interest.
#3 I think could be improved by a severe crop off the left and bottom.

Very cool.
I'm being flown over there in November to do some work.

Where did you go?
I'll be in Turin and Milan.

^I agree with this! The history behind this stuff is very fascinating. Plus the canals are just really cool.

btw what is the first pic of exactly? I can't tell

Composition in #1 and #3 don't excite me too much. I really like #2- both the composition and the colors.

I'll have to go through many pictures, but I definitely will once I have time haha.

Islands in the distance haha.
And seeing history for yourself is completely different from learning about it in books haha.

Thanks
Italy had very colourful buildings

This shot has no redeeming qualities of balance or human interest. The form and color aspects are not too bad, but it is simply a snapshot. I think you could do better.
