Italy Chisea del Santissimo Redentore
Commonly known as Il Redentore, is a 16th-century Roman Catholic church located on Giudecca (island) in the sestiere of Dorsoduro, in the city of Venice, Italy.
It was designed by the architect Andrea Palladio and built as a votive church to thank God for the deliverance of the city from a major outbreak of the plague. Located on the waterfront of the Canale della Giudecca, it dominates the skyline of the island of Giudecca. It is a member of the Chorus Association of Venetian churches and contains a number of paintings by artists including Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese and Francesco Bassano.

Photography Tips
I took this photo from across the canal. A 70-200mm lens and tripod was used for this composition.
Tripod, ND filters and a lot of patience, the traffic on the water can be frustrating. Keep a watchful eye left and right for slow-approaching container ships during exposure.
