Wonderful composition! The repetitive lines in the architecture plus the tables and chairs are wonderful!

Nice work as always Patricia.
As Jim says, the neatly lined up empty tables and chairs help lead the eye to the busy far end.
A crop to a square may be interesting.

Je me sens un peu ridicule avec mes évocations de lumière naissante alors que le titre dit "noir sur blanc" que nous sommes le soir. J'aimais bien pourtant cette correspondance entre un éventuel amour naissant et le jour qui se lève...

Hi Patricia:
Beyond the relaxed charm of witnessing this casual conversation, the thing that really makes "Venetian Evening" work for me is the empty sidewalk cafe. Had even a few of those seats been filled, I think this image would have lost it's motivation. I also find the "call and answer" effect of the repeating pattern of the round backed chairs and the array of Venetian arches in the background to be a powerful and intriguing visual element. There's lots of magic here, Patricia, beyond the warm glow of the evening light.
As for the Liquify Mesh, it's actually so simple that you may be disappointed. Once you've created a complex distortion using the various tools such as squeeze, expand and rotate, you then simply hit the SAVE button to make a copy of the underlying mesh, which can then be re-loaded at a later date to duplicate your distortion on other images. That's about all there is to it.
And, Patricia, thanks for your many comments. They are always insightful and I value them immensely.
Best,
Jim

Très bel instanné. Son plus grand intérêt est dans la lumière du matin, rasante, qui sculpte bien le drapé des deux corps. Ils se révèlent dans une position détendue, complices dans la lumière naissante. Comme d'autres, je crois que l'image gagnerait si on lui enlevait la boîte (courrier ?) à gauche.

I love the light here, just wonderful the way it isolates the couple. At first I thought I might like a little less DOF on this, but after looking at it for a while, I think you did exactly right. Keeps them in context, and as I said, the light isolates them enough -- plus, this is VENICE, so we want a little look at the architecture ;)

This is so typical Italian! :-))
You made a real good job with angle and lighting... I agree with Craig and Richard about cropping the left side.

I agree with Craig regarding the crop Patricia, but the light object bottom right really needs either cropping or darkening, it draws the eye. The couple are perfect and the selctive dof is excellent, I love the tones in this, well done - Richard.

IMO the lighting on the couple really makes this photo. My inclination would be to crop some from both left (the whole box) and top for a stronger focus on the couple, but I suspect you wanted the doorway effect? The lighting on the couple is really choice and I keep going back to them. Nice image. Cheers. Craig

Very nice depth of field. You get a great sense of the surrounding as of the couple in front. The light is perfect, I think. And even the lines on the building are behaving quite well.
I like it a lot.

this is a great candid...what I really like is the couple is sharp and clear and the focus is on them...then you have a terrific background with that great old architecture contrasted with the modern day table and chairs and a good dof to tie it all together...tones and contrast are good and the post (?) box aids in the framing of the alcove...an excellent image

Patricia,
nice job!, the only thing i would do different, is the box thing on the left. i would crop it out or put more of it in the shot to even it out. i want to know what it is, but i cant really see it. but if it was not there, it wouldent hurt the shot either.
great tone's, and detail.
good job
regards
-ryan

Superbe lumière sur les 2 personnages, très italiens....La profondeur de champ me paraît optimale, on sait où on est..., le café Florian est encore desert, mais plus pour longtemps,et les 2 personnages se détachent parfaitement dans un matin joyeux sur un flou maitrisé....:-) Le distributeur à Gauche gêne un peu, mais si peu.....
