Венеция

Photographer's Note

Ponte di Calatrava was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Being the fourth bridge on the Canal Grande, the futuristic, typical Calatrava signature design, is a misfit to the Venetian style. It was known to be an expensive project and complications came on its way. No wonder, many Italians dislike it. :)

But, photographers are very fond of it! :D

strong impact composition, good contrast shade on this organic design. I like very much. I also visited here and made a pic and posted TE. Nice fine weather seems make this bridge striking impact.

As you said, there are many tourist and photographer here. I think taking photograph in early morning is the best time for any place like this place.

Ciao Arnab,
I didnґt see this beautiful perspective..the part in the foreground seems to be like an anchor for this wide bow that brings people to the other shore.
Compliments, Chris

Hi Arnab,

this is one of the most fantastic photos of this bridge i've seen so far! I love the light conditions...the dark and the bridge rising from it with all its glory, so elegantly, so gracefully. It curves like a light curves through lens and the effect that provides is most futuristic, most sophisticated. Excellently seen and captured, my compliments!

Kind regards,
jeri

Hi Arnab,
Which magnificent photo of the bridge. With this POV and the very strong contrasts the curve has a really extraordinary shape. It seems to twist itself slightly.
We see all the genius of Calatrava.
Bravissimo!
Best regards
Diane
