Looks great. It's very hard not to blow out the sun in a shot like this. And you prevented that, so well done!

What do you mean by that? You mean not actually show the sun in the shot?

No, I mean that the area with the sun in it becomes one big white blob without anything in it. Just totally blown out white area. Like this pic. See how blown out the sky is? All that white? Your pic doesn't have that. So that's what I would call a good control of the whites (in this case the sun).

Taken with the Canon 5D and a vintage lens. Not sure which one, but short glass obviously.

Wow. Look at that water. I would not want to live there!

Yes. Supposedly the Italians finished the water retention device called "Moses." This is supposed to prevent flooding. I'm not sure what the maximum flood state is though before it becomes ineffective.

One wonders. I mean, the place looks like one mild storm could wash it all away.
