The city centre of Venice

It seems like a good picture, and it adds value to the Venice article.

  • It's certainly big enough, but it's not very sharp. And I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking at besides a lot of water. Could probably benefit from a crop. I really can't see this passing at FPC.Tomdobb (talk) 19:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree. Compositionally, I think it would be better to have the cityscape at the bottom third of picture, with the sky occupying two-thirds, rather than foreground water occupying almost the entire image. A bigger concern, however, is that the size of the photo (subject too small) does not depict the subject particularly well, or with sufficient detail. Specifically, the Grand Canal takes a bend around the middle of the city-scape; that is, the left and right side of the city are actually island/mainland separated by the Canal, although the picture seems to give the impression that the landmass is continuous from left to right. --Malachirality (talk) 19:24, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
