Hey Velva, Thanks again for posting one of my pics, I'm glad you and your readers like it.
This is a picture I took about a a month and half ago in Venice on an unusually cold, windy and rainy day. It was so cold that my wife needed to by a touristy pullover to keep warm (I'd guesstimate below 50F).
The treatment of the photo to black and white does make it feel even colder, but it really let the detail of the boats shine. I thought it would be fun to keep one of the boats fully saturated, hence the blue. Sometimes I think this effect is a little overused, you'll see it pretty commonplace on cards or wedding pictures (where just the flowers are in color, etc). I figured I'd try it and because it gave an interesting perspective, it's a keeper :)

Love that photo, but somehow it looks quite cold there. Diane
This boat owner dares to be different. I agree with Diane. It does look cold there. Burr

Nice color/black and white contrast. Great photo.
A non-conformist! Love that blue canvas right at the center.
So pretty!
Those are neat boats.
that is so cool, with the color!
Interesting photo
This picture does justice when they call their city La Serenissima. Most serene indeed! Thanks for sharing this beautiful scene!
