Burano afternooon

Inspired by the lovely 'revisist' shots of Italy taken by @brigette, @nicolecampbell & @homeschoolmom , I thought I would look at my 2012 shots with fresh eyes. Three years on I find there are more 'good and bad' in those holiday snaps than I remember. I know the whole edit vs sooc debate can imply that if I was good enough photographer, then my shots would be good enough without too much 'fiddling'. Looking back at those old shots I see what I did wrong & mostly what I was trying to do (but did not know how). But we don't always get a second chance to revisit holiday destinations & do it 'right' do we!

this is edited for a large canvas - so detail is better viewed large.
I wish I had used RAW back then, but that is 20-20 hindsight!! :)

Taken in 31 March 2012 - my actual posting of Burano posted for this day in 2012 is http://365project.org/ltodd/extras/2012-03-31 -- mmm I think that one does not really capture the unique island at all, but back then I did not know how to edit the shot above.
Now I can't wait to check out the rest of my old 'duds' !! :)
Love& fav:)!

@kph129 thanks so much Kristin. :) I could do a 'how to' tutorial if people are interested. ( the original shot needed a lot of exposure correction!)

@nicolecampbell oh did you do it??
September 3rd, 2015  
I know a good printer who can print this on canvas for you, it would look great on the wall!

This is a really great edit. Although I am busy right now, if you did a tutorial, I could tag it as a fav and come back to it (hint). Lovely result.
