Looking good to me, the removal of more posts means seeing further into the picture becomes easier on the eye, and does change the flavour of the scene, if that's what you want to viewer to do.
My final comment will depend on your philosophy and the truthfulness of the image, so far all the changes are believable and anyone who has been there would recognise the scene as what they remember. Now the view is clearer I don't like the white cabin boat passing on the right so would like to do something about it, remove it and clone some sea, but that would alter the truth completely. Unfortunately just updated PS to 2020 and now it doesn't work! |

I preferred the original format, for me these crops have lost the essence of movement amongst the gondolas. If the objective was just to get a clean view of the tower then why not take the tower from here and put it in the other image?
Of the 3 crops I would vote for number 3, mono has brought back the shapes to the fore. |

My first set of comments seems to have been lost, ho hum! The main point for me is the bright rear end of the animal draws the eye to the least interesting part of the image. |

You're right, very tough to capture in the wild but you did a pretty good job here. Brenda's covered most items, maybe darken down the branch a little to make the bird stand out a bit more? |

From your description this was a lucky but well taken image, and I guess there are no more to play with, pity. If you have time what about making more of a story with this? |

I'd like to see the colour version as for me the mono version is lacking something. I'm led across the water (two thirds of the image) but when I arrive there is nothing to greet me. |

I love this, especially the square crop as it sorts out the bright green on the left of the original, is so symmetrical but broken by the little bit of sky poking through, and keeps the depth of the image with the beautiful shadows.
I think the couple are perfect, they give scale and a bit of a story without being the subject. |

You seem to have achieved what you set out to do, so that's good. I'm not a great fan of blur but am learning that it has a place, and this is a good example of where to use it.
The pole overlapping the tower is covered by Richard, and I would also look to do something with the top left corner, however the crops suggested resolve that.
Going higher to stop the overlap risks splitting the image into two, especially with the strong difference between blur and sharp, and be careful not to get the horizon bang in the middle.
Overall I'd crop some off the top but leave the rest, making the boats a more dominant subject that justifies the movement capture with blur. |
