I sure wouldn't want to be one of those people standing on those gondolas right now...that water looks COLD! This is something different in a city-scene...much to look at and absorb here. Good "natural" composition with the curving canal and the water traffic in the forground showing the eye how to travel through the scene. I bet you waited some time in the cold to get those boats just right and to offer a full sample of river traffic. :)
