I've been here! Absolutely beautiful city. Great shot

been there in 2009. I think you went a little overboard with processing here (to my taste), but it is a magical place, indeed.

Very nicely composed, and a beautiful scene - I think you could have stood to spool back the HDR a tad
02/20/2011 05:54:32 PM
Vivid enough to be a painting, no?
02/20/2011 07:25:39 AM
gorgeous vista - but the processing seems overdone to me
02/20/2011 05:54:27 AM
looks over topaz'ed or maybe just over saturated. amazing perspective.

I think you might get comments that this is "overprocessed", but I love it. I can really appreciate taking an image and emphasizing its strong points, which is what you did here. Stunning. 10

Certainly what paintings are made of. This is really nice. I'd love to see it BIG.

This almost seems to be vibrating on the screen with those great colors. The BG works well to set the village off. Nice PP.

Very picturesque; but I have trouble with the buildings--they seem somewhat double imaged
02/17/2011 08:14:49 PM
Is this Cinque Terra? I'm not a fan of the pp'ing, just way too much, and I don't think this picturesque scene needed that.

Vernazza is a great village i have also taken a shot at the same place as you have .. i like your treatment but on my monitor it appears a touch over saturated ... good luck!
02/17/2011 07:08:52 AM
Excellent,hope it goes well.
02/17/2011 06:24:54 AM
I sooo would have bumped this up higher...but I'm not a fan of the "glow" from either Topaz/HDR...mind you I didn't give you a shabby vote (8), I'm just stating my opinion...this is an amazing picture for sure
02/16/2011 07:16:26 PM
Mesmerizing. I want to move there:)
02/16/2011 04:02:44 PM
Amazing and surreal at the same time. Bump
02/16/2011 03:15:54 PM
The processing really makes this jump off the screen. Great colors.
02/15/2011 12:38:27 PM
This IS stunning! Amazing colours- it's like a dream! 10
02/15/2011 06:55:54 AM
Back to comment... Gorgeous! I'm going to have to come back to this after voting and see where in the world it is. This would make an awesome canvas!
02/15/2011 03:28:21 AM
Do not believe anybody who says this is overdone. Great capture and process. 8
02/14/2011 06:00:24 PM
The high sat level makes this enjoyably surreal.

Wonderful vantage point to see the colorful buildings, the boats docked and the sea beyond. Photo has a lot of visual interest to capture and hold my eye. A high above average shot (7) but I think it may suffer from being a tad bit too saturated with the processing. I love the color and the composition but I feel that the color is a bit overpowering to my eye. Scaling back the saturation just a touch but keeping the colors rich and not overpowering would strengthen the composition.

a little too hdr-y for me
02/14/2011 03:09:40 AM
the HDR spoils this...
