When All Tourists Are Gone - a photo on Flickriver

We stayed one night in Varenna, a picturesque town of 500 people on Lake Como in northern Italy. Almost all shops and restaurants are closed in January. At high season in summer the town is overrun by 6000 tourists a day. This is the view from the tiny harbor seen through a fisheye lens.

I processed a paintery and a balanced HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
