I truly loved this album! Venice is a place that I would love to see in person but your photos made me feel as if I was actually there. Also, it answered some questions for me. They really do have trees there. It is the first time that I had viewed photos of Venice where trees wer present. Great Album!

Hello! Your photos are amazing. Everytime I come to this album, I'm just as captivated as the first time. And I agree, Venice is one of the most romatic cities! You've captured it so well. I'm fairly new to Webshots, but would like to tell you that you were the 1st Favorite that I added to my list! Thanks for sharing your photos. Come visit my album sometime. I hope you enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed yours. Cheers, Sharon, Brisbane Australia

Ciao ruggiero, come al solito sei il mio fotografo preferito. Le tue foto hanno un'anima e sono tra le più belle di webshots. Hai visto il mio album sulla gente di Burma? Foto che ho digitalizzato da diapositive in quanto il viaggio l'ho fatto circa vent'anni fa? Credo che le cose che ho visto facciano parte di un mondo ormai perduto. Dimmi tu cosa ne pensi. Ciao FRANCO F.

Hi Roggero, Just stopping by to see whats been happening while I was away on holiday and surprise surprise you have had a feature, which when you see these piccies is no surprise at all Belated congratulatiuons from me anyway. Just stunning as always and how that sky can be so blue Its just wonderful I think my favourite has to be number 35 such a contrast with the beautiful building. I have never been to Venice except through your pictures so thank you for taking me there. As always some beautifully composed pictures. Take care now Jill
said
jillbatchelor 2005.09.02 at 10:40:08 PDT
Hello Ruggero! Although belated, let me add my two pennies worth! Your album is about colour and perspective. It is colour photography at its best. There is something so captivating about saturated colours. Often in other pictures, the blues are not blue enough, the reds never red enough and so on. Your pictures are an exeption. They are epitome of colour photography. Often, when I get colour, I do not get a subject. When the subject matter is at hand, then the sky is all grey!! You have enormous skill and patience and that is why your photography ranks among the very best in webshots. I am enthralled by your album. Never tire of seeing those colours of Venice, which, by the way, is my favourite city in theworld. Thank you for bringing the magic of Venice alive. Best wishes, Suresh

Siempre he seguido tu trayectoria como fotografo, como excelente fotografo, y veo que ti FEATURED, es mas que merecido. Enhorabuena, me perece un album extraordinario de composicion,formas,colore s tomas etc. Sigo diciendote que eres uno de mis faboritos dentro de la Webshots,donde tantos amigos y buenos fotografos he conocido.Gracias por tu amistad y reitero mi enhorabuena MUY MERECIDA.Un saludo desde España Jose Antonio

Ciao Ruggero e bentornato dalle ferie. Io ho visto le Dolomiti (grazie del msg in gb) e sono contento che ti piacciano le foto. La feature non ha nessuna importanza (non si sa chi la da - anche se credo di avere afferrato il meccanismo - e quindi non è fattore di rating :) mi basta che siano contenti gli amici. Venezia ti affascina sempre. Complimenti per il tuo album che contiene sempre piu' tracce di questa tua grande passione. Ale :)

Dear Ruggero,your peaceful vacation days are ower -mine too :-{ - unfortunately the rutine of life goes on, right? The feature of your wonderful album did not surprise me at all, only regreted that I was not in conditions to write in extended way. As you can observe I followed your "advice" - would rather say orders, and was laughing loud and long about the way you put it.. I am not finding the right words to praise your album, so much is said that it is hard to say something original and never heard...with you it is every day more difficult because you became very famous and admired, which you completely deserve.I must say that still my favorite album is "little flowers of Ticino's woods" as I have downloaded all of them and the photos are rolling permanently on my screensaver. You have so many that it is difficult to keep track. I am sure pronto there will be a new one with the lazy days of your vacation. I salute you and congratulate you with warm hugs and sincere friendship your far friend/Kathy-Caterina (T1)

Ciao Ruggero! We all predicted it and it came to be - this was a Feature from the day you created it. Congratulations with all my heart. I'm sorry my comments are late - I just returned yesterday from England. What a happy thing to come home to! And I see also that Jacques was featured a few days later. Webshots has class after all ;-) A big hug from a tired traveler, Beth

Hello Ruggero, I often looked at this album and I haven't left my comments yet, but I must do this time. It's always the same pleasure to look at each of your photos and never get bored with it. The colours, the compositions, the way that your subjects are lit with the light that enhances the architecture and the detail of the monuments. An always renewed pleasure. Thx for your nice words in my GB B&W, I know not many people recognises the beauty of this art but it's worth it even if it is for 1% of WS users, like you Ruggero :) Take care my friend and best regards, Yan/Ottawa

Hi Ruggero and many thanks for your compliments in my Winter in Moore River and Guilderton album. We were talking about alpine country and a couple of my albums will give you a bit of an idea. The photos were taken about 20/25 years ago as slides and the quality is not as good as our modern day digitals but they will give you a good feel for our High Country (plus a few beaches thrown in for good measure!!) If you go http://community.webshots.com/user/georgieboy98 the albums in question are on Page 5. One is called The Great Dividing Range and the other Victoria. At the time I took the piccies we were working for our living (photographers of school children) We lived in our caravan and were travelling all over Australia. Fun days and a great way to earn a living! Ciao Peter

AHHH! Venice without the crowd... Man! It seems that mountain-scapes are not your only reason to live! I've realised the mistake I made in my previous comments (please, suppress them), all I meant was: "What a pity that such an incredible quality shots album get corrupted by the incompetence of webshots programmers unable to resize a jpg file correctly. Anyway, browsing these new treasures was a real pleasure, as usually... Ciao, man, hope everything's alright with your surgery!... Cheers...

Ciao Ruggero! Sono venuta 'da te' per dirti: Che cosa devo fare con te? Sai che la nostra cara amica Elin ha dedicato il suo ultimo album a ME, non alla carissima Simonetta?, hehehe... Ma... sorpresa!, ho trovato il piu' meraviglioso album su Venezia che io abbia mai visto. Se non l'avevo visto prima e' perche quando l'hai pubblicato io ero in ospedale, ricordi? Come d'abitudine tutto e' incredibilmente bello e perfetto nei tuoi scatti. Ti ammiro tanto!!! Un saluto affettuoso. Joana

Ruggero, finalmente sono tornato anche 'psicicamente' dalla Sicilia ed ho trovato tempo per studiare il tuo straordinario album di Venezia. Senti: milioni hanno fatto miliardi foto di Venezia, ma tu hai trovato un modo di mostrarci la citta con occhi nuovi. Sono i posti di solito, ma con una atmosfera mai vista, con questi colori diciamo 'freddi'-- stupendo, in una parola.

ciao...ho velocemente dato uno sguardo (troppo fugace...) a questo album e l'ho trovato stupendo! spero di aver + tempo la prossima volta per guardare tutte le altre foto. Livio

Venezia e' di nuovo il bel soggetto del tuo divertimento fotografico: il fascino della notte, impreziosito da luci e riflessi sui rii e sulla laguna veneziana, prima; l'esuberanza del colore che, in una Venezia inondata di sole, hai profuso con ricchezza su cielo, palazzi, gondole, ora. La tua macchina fotografica come la tavolozza di un raffinato pittore. Grazie e ... in gamba (nel senso letterale del termine ;-) Ale - PS - che piacere la tua graditissima incursione nel mio London guestbook (ancora mi chiedo come fai a venire sapere che ho messo delle foto gia' due secondi dopo che ho finito l'upload... :-). Take care my friend

Ciao my favourite Favourite! Wow! What a combination! Wonderful,romantic Venezia and artistic Ruggero!A winning team! So many people take photos of Venice. You have got your own style and you manage to show us something new and interesting..I also like the saturated colours. This album is a real jewel! I especially like 1,4,5,6,10,16,27,42 and 63...and of course the beautyful photos of San Marco..Thank you also so much for visiting my album the other day, and all your nice words! They were highly appreciated!Do you know why you are my favourite Favourite? Not only are your photos a true pleasure for eyes and soul, but you always take time to look at peoples photos and to comment them..You always have something special to say to each and everyone.You make people feel good... That is a great gift!I would like to invite you to see my new album "A tribute to life(My favourites)" if you have got time one day and give me your opinion.

Non credo di aver mai visto Venezia così piena di colore e vitalità, forse solo nei quadri di Turner.Ci sono foto davvero indimenticabili come 6,37,42 e 46.Ciao da Emanuela

Ciao Ruggero, I love the deep blue of many of your Venice skies; Pierre and I have visited only one time the romantic town with my loved Mother; What I love also are your comments with always the sense of laugh and life; My selection this time is 10 for the delightful moment, geometries in 14, the Venetian parking 16, the silent paddling in 24, 28 for its vertical beauty, 34 & 35 at St Marco, and the limousines in 42; Complimenti sinceri mio caro Ruggero per la perfezione tecnica con i colori fantastico! Thanks for your Bourges comments; We have discovered this WE by a luminous Spring day, a medieval wonder near Fontainebleau at Moret-sur-Loing with its enchanting river ‘s edges loved by many impressionist painters as Sysley; That is the very sweet Ile-de-France that we never visit because when coming from far, we are lead to merge there on speedy highways, and this final region is always crossed quickly to reach Paris on time; A place you should love, I am sure! (perfect for kayaking among flowers and wiping willows!), Jacques

AHHH! Venice without the crowd... Man! It seems that mountain-scapes are not your only reason to live! Well, I won't send you the usual and boring compliments. I know you're getting irritated with them and anyway, you know what I think about your talent! For a change, I would like to talk about software. I may be wrong but something tells me that either you've chosen a too high compression rate, either you use a ##### piece of software to compress your shots. I mean, that's a pity, you've got the ability to produce so great pictures that always amazes us, you shouldn't let a faulty algorythm damage your work. Have a good day, my friend... Hope your knee's better! ;-)

Ciao Roger, After the week I have had how wonderful it was to visit Venice (one of my favorite places on earth) via your fabulous new album. Cannot remember the sky ever being such a deep, beautiful blue!! I have to wait until July 2006 to return in person, so as always, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing with us your talent. Hope you & your family are well & enjoying spring time. Salute,Cathy

Ciao, You have done a magnificent job capturing the unique beauty of my favorite place on earth. The brilliant colors and wonderful composition work perfectly. I hope that you post more, as Venezia is a city that, while much photographed, will never be photographed too much. I don't recall every seeing the sky so clear and blue on all my many visits there!

Ciao Ruggero, Thanks so much for sharing your new pictures of Venice. They are great photos as ususal. The colors are so vibrant and rich this time. They seem to be much more intense than in the past. I was wondering if you have a new camera or perhaps were using a different film. The blues this time are so deep and rich looking. I envy you living in such a beautiful country that is so rich in history and with so many scenic areas such as Venice. it is always a pleasure to see your new albums. Thanks, Phil

Hi Ruggero, you've done it again! With each of your new albums I come to the conclusion, that there can't be a better one. . . . but then you come along with a new album even more beautiful. Your colors are overwhelming and your details and the absolute perfect views make it a pleasure to walk around again and again! I am happy you liked my last small album. :-) :-D . . . . Galit

Ciao Ruggero! Bellissimo questo album su Venezia, una citta' stupenda, una citta' romantica, una citta' da sogno. Le tue fotografie richiamano il desiderio di ritornarci, di passare qualche giorno in mezzo a tanto splendore. Come al solito le tue foto sono perfette con inquadrature stupende. Complimenti e un amichevole saluto da Renato.

CIAO Ruggero! Dear Friend! Deep in my mind, I really don't want this album to be the last most beautiful album of Venice, one of my beloved most beautiful cities. I've just seen a documentary film last night revealling the continuous water pollution and flooding problems of Venice. Even though the Italian government has all the great projects of building dams and cleaning the canals all around Venice, the problems are worsening gradually. Anyway, forget the problems for a short while. Let me step in this romantic city once again. Let me refresh my memory of my happy pigeon feeding at Piazza St. Marco, the gondolas, the joyful Italian songs (truly, I've a few CD of Italian songs and music). Again, I like your vivid colours, I like your perception, I like all these spectacular scenic photos. Thank you so much again, our dearest Italian guide. Thank you for not just your great mountain scenery, thank you also for your stunning Venice scenery (day and night). I wish you will enjoy your hiking soon! Take Good Care, Friend! CS

Hello Ruggero, this album is bursting with beautiful colors and scenery! Each image is astounding! There are too many lovely images to be able to pick even a few favorites I am sorry (or should I be glad?) to say. Thank you so much for this wonderful tour of this amazing city!

candistackable 2005.04.26 at 13:38:08 PDT
Ciao Ruggero, come un cecchino, come al solito, miri dritto al cuore!!! In un connubio che non poteva essere migliore, la meravigliosa Venezia (vista attraverso lo sguardo attento da vero artista di un fotografo d’eccezione, quale tu sei) non può che catturare l’attenzione e imprigionare gli occhi e l’anima. Potrei ripetere per la milionesima volta i complimenti per la perfezione tecnica, per le inquadrature sempre originalissime, per la passione che si legge in ogni tuo scatto, oppure potrei dirti quali sono quelle che più mi hanno colpito, ma sarebbe inutile perché dovrei menzionarle tutte … ma ti dico solo che, davanti al ardito e impeccabile taglio della 19 con il suo incredibile gioco di luce/ombra/luce su tre piani differenti a dare una profondita'sbalorditiva, non ho potuto fare a meno di esclamare “…porca paletta, ma quanto è bravo!!!!!!!!!”. Un grande abbraccio. Simona P.S.: Un milione di grazie per i lusinghieri commenti!!! :0)

Dear Ruggero, Venice has been photographed so much... but these pictures are really worth more than just one more look. As always, this album of yours is perfectly done and a pleasure to look at. I LOVE those vibrant colors, those gorgeous attention to graphic details and your extremely sharp eye for beauty. And to all visitors to this album let me just say: Join me and shout to the WS administrators: We want a FEATURE - FEATURE - FEATURE - FEATURE!!!!... Your friend Mike

Ciao Ruggero e complimenti per questo ennesimo tributo a una delle più belle e romantiche città del mondo.

Ruggero! Che fantastico! I always say that one can not take a bad photo in Venice, but you have taken masterpieces. Every one could be on a calendar. Che colori! You have captured the true spirit of this beautiful gem of a town and now I ache to return there. This will be a feature I am sure of it. Complimenti ottimi, amico mio. And a great big hug. Ciao, Beth

Ogni foto di questo favoloso e coloratissimo album meriterebbe un commento particolareggiato; intanto ti comunico alcuni pareri sulle immagini che piu' mi hanno preso dopo una prima e non approfondita visione. 017 bellissimo controluce e (mi pare) utile il flash per rischiarare in primo piano. 002, 004, 010, 012 ottime le persone e la loro collocazione ambientale, le figure umane "spiegano&qu ot; meglio queste foto. 005 grande effetto dell'apparente oscurità del cielo contro gli ipersaturi colori delle facciate. 009, 007 prospettive e spazi ottimali, ma hai aggiunto tu le nuvolette sfumate nel cielo? 014 bellissimo equilibrio di forme e linee. 019, 020, 022 inquadrature originali del Ponte dei Sospiri, anche se la 022 con la gondola "elimina&quo t; la 020 con il canale vuoto. 021, 024 sono elaborazioni ottimanente realizzate e appropriate (in questo caso le modifiche aggiungono significati alle immagini). 029 un bianco e nero eccellente e un taglio deciso che esclude la parte superiore delle colonne ma comunica ugualmente la corretta percezione spaziale. 028, 030 belle cornici per il campanile, ma forse era meglio escludere l'impalcatura a sinistra, inserendo nell'inquadratura una parte maggiore del porticato. Poi nelle pagine 4 e 5 una notevole sequenza di scorci e viste inusuali di Venezia, colte grazie alla tua attenta e paziente osservazione. Un album veneziano che completa, dopo i notturni, il tuo originale modo di interpretare questa splendida citta'. A proposito di Venezia, hai visto il seguente album?: http://community.webshots.com/album/204830910VWBCtg ... ha ricevuto la feature due giorni fa, strano che WS abbia dato una meritatissima prima pagina ad un album dove si racconta una citta' con dei ritratti e in cosi' poche immagini. Ciao! Luca

My favorites are "Walking in Canal Grande", "Limousines& quot; (never realized that they were so grand) and "Perspectives& quot; (for the sheer beauty in color and comp). Another picture perfect album my friend! Always a treat to view your albums. Thanks for sharing with us all...take care and many hugs...Darlene

Ciao Ruggero... sono senza parole.... dopo il tuo ultimo album notturno dove hai dimostrato tecnica, sensibilità e maestria ad altisimo livello con questo hai raggiunto veramente il top... Non sono in grado ora di commentare le tue fotografie perchè per poterle realmente apprezzare occorre maggior calma, tempo ed una attenzione che possa veramente afferrare almeno in parte gli aspetti tecnici ed estetici in esse contenute. Ogni foto per me rappresenta ben più che un manuale o testo di tecnica fotografica, in ogni foto l'aspetto tecnico, la prospettiva, la ricerca "architettonica& quot;, i colori e la composizione rappresentano motivo di crescita e di studio. E' giusto quindi che un lavoro così completo e complesso ad opera di un vero maestro meriti una featured (ho dei dubbi però sulle reali "politiche&q uot; di scelta da parte dei gestori di WS...). Grazie per aver condiviso questo capolavoro! Ciao. Elio

Ruggero, carissimo, this is again one of your masterpieces! Wonderful! Gorgeous colours! And such a BLUE sky!!!(Did you talk to Somebody up there to grant you a blue sky???? I wouldn't wonder!)We have to thank you for granting us such a luxurious trip in a city famous for its history and beauty, which we might never reach to see in reality! But...who knows...the reality might be less attractive than your magnificent shots. We watched the slideshow the BIG way and it is very rewarding. Sincere compliments for this creation, too!

Ciao Ruggero :) Le tue bellissime foto mi fanno venire la voglia di prendere il primo aereo per l'Italia! Ma come fai a catturare quei colori? Sembrano dipinti. E' un vero piacere guardare i tuoi capolavori. Qual'e' la tua ora preferita per scattare le foto? Scommetto che e' mattina presto e crepuscolo. The golden hour per i fotografi, quando la luce e' diffusa e calda. Non e' cosi'? Complimenti! Carmela.
