•  Comment Strange noise pattern in the sky. Since it's not present in the color original, I assume it must be the result of adding contrast in post. I do love the effect the contrast gives, but maybe tweaking it a bit and/or adding NR could help with the situation. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:54, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

•  Fixed Thank you for your advice. I've added some noise reduction in the sky. --XRay ^talk 07:04, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Not as dramatic as before, but still an FP for me in terms of wow factor. Whenever you try to pull contrast out of nothing, increased noise and/or posterization is the inevitable result; usually it's from pushing shadows, but mapping from a very narrow range in the highlights to a much wider range of tones can lead to this as well. Taking into account the improvement in image quality this is a better version than before. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:33, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

* weak oppose it's a great image - but the sky still ruins it for me. Sorry! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:44, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

•  Info @Johann Jaritz, Basotxerri, Ikan Kekek, King of Hearts, and Martin Falbisoner: There was too much noise in the sky. Now I've uploaded a new development, softer and with less noise. --XRay ^talk 08:21, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
