Venice in July part 1

I was in Venice for 3 days mid July and always enjoy people watching there. The plaza and streets were packed with so many interesting and beautiful people. Women were the perfect subject with their colorful clothes, hats, sunglasses, jewelry, and beautiful smiles. It was a challenge to take candid photos from a distance and often the person was lost in the crowds of people. Occasionally I was lucky and a person would glance in my direction.

These are also fine images. It looks to me as if you gave a special treatment to No.2 which happens to be my favorite. In your first one my eye keeps on looking at the bush in the foreground. My personal impression is that it should not be there because it is acting as a distraction.
No. 4 is a lovely shot and I like it very much also. Indeed they are all fine images and it is very difficult, at least for me, to pick a favorite although I decided that No. 2 would be my choice.

Thank you for your thoughts. I have mixed feelings about the green bush also, do other people have an opinion?

Stunning... again

Looking at that 3rd picture, I feel like I have been there... just sightseeing. Been so many years (1972, we were driving thru Munich a day or 2 before when the attack on the Olympics happened). I may be mistaken. Was your picture taken in Austria (directly south of Innsbruck, looking down toward Italy?

No, these were all in Italy...
