Okay, I have looked at this a number of times, and I have to comment on it. What I love about this shot is the beam/box of sunlight coming from the alley way makes the gondola almost appear as if it is floating just above the water. I absolutely LOVE this shot!^

I've never seen the sky the color that it is in that photo. I suspect that the photographer hasn't either.

Since I didn't comment on the color of the sky, but simply on the gondola's appearance related to the water, I am curious as to why you chose to use my quote to disparage someone else's work.

Personally, I think the photo that was posted is composed nicely, but I would tone the colors back to something more natural looking just as a personal preference.

The comment was related to the fact that the picture is an HDR photo, which tweaks colors/details in a photo. About a year or two ago everyone went crazy for the effect. It was pretty cool, but the original effect (combining multiple photos to gain detail in areas that are over/underexposed) is pretty easy to somewhat fake in photoshop or instagram. HDR video is still pretty cool: Here's a quick example using video (http://vimeo.com/35867786)

Photo taken by my teen son with his iPhone en route LGA-IAH:
He likes to get creative with some of the apps on his iPhone:
I liked the texture in this photo. He managed to include me in the shot as well:
He took some pictures of the Veterans Day parade on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. I like the isolation of the colors against the B&W background.
