Description
Blue crowned masks in Venice, while dusk is coming in.
The picture was shot with a historic Contax II camera with matching Sonnar from 1936, giving a sharp image, but a very unique and smooth out of focus.

Excellent, lovely detail!
Riccardo Mottola replied:
Thank you James, the old lens and slide film captured the metallic details with the blue!

This one is my favorite of the set. Love the all the details in the costume from the intricate floral vine pattern on the sleeves to the pearl rings to the crown & hat to the Masks worn. I also love how I can see the city of Venice and the canal's water in the backdrop. Great portrait shot of these Carnavale performers! L/F

Lots of detail in themasks in deed, their blue color is amazing and contrasts with the gold: thank you for aprpeciating. The touch of a "recognizable" Venice is my style and comes from the excellent 5cm ("50mm" in 1936 speak) lens!
