Alf Caruana in reply to Hans Kawitzki’s comment, 4 months ago

some I do, others come from a hires library, the image is made up of around 20 layers so theres quite a few textures, thanks for looking Hans and all the best

Hans Kawitzki, 4 months ago

wow,20 layers,no wonder the image has so much depth,thanks for your explanation Alf.

Super treatment and art work, Alf.

Henk Stolk, 4 months ago

wonderful treatment

Adriana Glackin, 4 months ago

This is beautiful, Alf – wonderful editing and it suits a city such as grand old Venice to be portrayed in this way. As for the Mona Lisa…nope, she’s not there, she missed her gondola ride and will have to wait for the next one… ; )

Sandy Stewart, 4 months ago

Gilberte, 4 months ago

Stunning work Alf.Yes I found her, she was mysteriously smiling at me and then my eyes went up and to the left and…I found Dante.Very clear, can you find him?

frozenfa, 4 months ago

Mona Lisa?! took me awhile and… i found her!!! YAY!! hehe.. XD

Anthony Vella, 4 months ago

Excellent artwork Alf. You,ve managed to set time a few hundred yeas back with this image. As for the beautiful Lady Mona, of course I found her, less than half a minute of searching….no beautiful Lady will escape my eyes. As for Betty’s Dante, I think he’s eluded me altogether or else gone back to Florence.

Sean Farragher, 4 months ago

AllshotsImaging, 4 months ago

Fantastic work Alf. I agree with a previous poster re the layers and the image having so much depth. It obviously took a lot of time, but well worth it!

I also found the Mona Lisa too. Took me about 20 seconds (viewed full size) but I think it was very well placed though. :)

Alf Caruana in reply to Gilberte’s comment, 4 months ago

thankyou Gilberte, I’m afraid you have me at a disadvantage I can’t see Dante :)

Alf Caruana in reply to frozenfa’s comment, 4 months ago

yay for you! thanks for commenting :)

brirose55, 4 months ago

awesome work

Gilberte, 4 months ago

Hi Alf..at the height of Mona Lisa, you go to the utter left and then 5cm upwards:you will see Dante’s white profile, eyes, nose, mouth, pointed chin and he has a headcover like a laurel tiara.You can’t miss him; he is a goodlooking man; maybe he has a moustache!! and when your eyes come slowly down again you’ll see he is wearing a coat, you see his arm and white hand holding branches.
Take a magnifying glass, it’s worth while!!

Anette Tyler, 4 months ago
