Whispers of Venice

This picture captures the view of the Bridge of Sighs, a place steeped in legend. It is said to take its name from the despairing sighs of prisoners who, as they were led away to their dark future of imprisonment, gazed at the beauty of Venice through the shuttered stonework. The presence of a gondola on the canal towards the bridge adds to the completeness of the image. With a clear vision in mind, I meticulously applied techniques in focus and exposure to bring this image to life, crafting a composition that evokes both history and serenity.
