•  Info Schwäbisch Hall in winter. Baden-Württemberg, Germany. All by --Mile (talk) 14:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Support -- Mile (talk) 14:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Very nice! Pity there’s much noise reduction visible. I’d remove the foliage on the top left (even crop it out) and try to soften the sky (there are many spots of attempted sharpening) or (better) rework it from RAW, excluding the sky from sharpening. --Kreuzschnabel 15:26, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
  •  Comment No sharpening, no nothing. OOC, detilted and some spots from firework removed in PS. Sky noise more than acceptable for me. I migth remove that tree on left side if any better. --Mile (talk) 16:43, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Info Tree removed, sky noise lowered. --Mile (talk) 17:52, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
  •  Support now. --Kreuzschnabel 22:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Not totally perfect ... there are still small blown areas where the lights agglomerate, particularly on the front of the drugstore where they're reflected by the yellow paint, and near what you correctly point out in the note is not distortion. And there's a bit of CA. But, I have learned a lot about photographing scenes with Christmas lights in the last few weeks (most of it, of course, the hard way) and based on that I'm not sure what you could do to correct those issues without compromising the rest of the image, especially when you got so many other things just right.

•  Support I like the composition of this image and how it captures the mood of a German town around Christmas. Nice shot! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 06:06, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Neutral At the top of the house, is being cut out of the antennas. --The Photographer (talk) 10:24, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

•  Done Satisfied now ? --Mile (talk) 14:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Simulate a cut in the antenna is not a good practice because it alters reality. On the other hand, you apply noise reduction in the sky, however, this has created a white aura on all objects where it is particularly visible in the antennae. I suggest the right job with layers to remove the white aura using cloning. --The Photographer (talk) 14:53, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

 Info That "auras" are called clouds, and due to snowy wather, relfections, and strong ligths in the back you can see them as such, and can be seen in original also. Just write a mail if you want to observe. --Mile (talk) 15:02, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

clouds do not generate drop shadow --The Photographer (talk) 16:01, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Nice atmosphere, good lighting and colours. I like it! --Halavar (talk) 00:41, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
