•  Info Cesenatico was founded in 1302. Its port and canal were built later in 1314. The canal was then surveyed and improved by Leonardo da Vinci in 1502. Even though it was not originally designed by him, the canal has been dedicated to Leonardo in this way: Porto Canale Leonardesco.

    Since I didn't make any changes to the evident dark parts, I decided to lighten them a little bit and I have to admit that the result is now really nice.
    By the way, thanks for your review. (refresh the cache to see the difference) -- Terragio67 (talk) 21:53, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

• It's noisier, though. Could you do something about that? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:53, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

  I uploaded a new version, denoising the image using Darktable (non local means - noise reduction). Terragio67 (talk) 05:21, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Question There's a white glow around the sails of the boats and around the roof of the building on the left. Is that fixable? --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:56, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

  By zooming in on the affected parts, it is possible to clearly see the bright glare, consequently it should be repairable using semi-automated tools which would drastically reduce it. The bad news is that it will take a long time and I can't work on it today (Sunday). I'll try tomorrow as soon as possible. Terragio67 (talk) 05:35, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

@Ermell , @Ikan Kekek , @Frank Schulenburg
Although I have limited knowledge of photographic post-processing, I took your comments seriously and tried to correct them.
First I worked on a new image obtained from the original file RAW.
Then I tried mainly to lighten the dark areas and reduce the noise that arises under these circumstances.
Finally, I managed to reduce the white glow around the sails of the boats and around the roof of the church on the left. Please, let me know if the image is better now... -- Terragio67 (talk) 17:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

• Yes, it looks good. Slight noise, but I'm leaning toward supporting. The buildings and boats pop at the viewer now. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:33, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Support The atmosphere and light have some subtle magic. Thank you, Ikan, Frank etc. for your constructive comments and Terragio67 for your repeated edits! IMHO this nomination is a good example of how we can work together to make good images even better. --Aristeas (talk) 09:02, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
