Venice carnival is the favorite event of Captain Obvious. Everything is already been photographed. My quest to stand out? I tried to make classic photos even MORE CLASSIC. That's how you defeat obviousness, by being SUPER OBVIOUS.

over used HDR? check
classic composition 50% sea 50% sky? check

GONDOLA? CHECK.

OH yeah BLACK AND WHITE
so shiny so good
Let the figures stand out from the background in a super-classic 1/3rd composition. I will leave air overhead for a good dreamy look.
But let me first line them up with the wall in the background. YEAH!
