    I love the strong colours and the vantage point. Maybe eliminate the greenery lower right corner.
    Cheers Ole

    A very nice night image. However, to my taste, it's a tad oversaturated.

    I also wondered about the greenery that Ole mentioned. But a crop would mean losing half of the bridge and possibly a bit from the bottom, so I think it is better to leave it as it is now.

    Agreed, a nice nocturnal image of the city.

    Nice image, I'm guessing that the rather saturated predominant colours which are complementary and close to orange/teal were deliberate. Or were you just lucky ?

    My Zeiss glass has pretty punchy colors as is. (Zeiss Loxia 85 f2.4 on Sony A7R3)

    In all my decades of photography, I've never had the good fortune to have Zeiss glass. However, wouldn't processing decisions have much more impact on color than the choice of lens, assuming that one is choosing from reasonably good ones?

    I've personally never noticed substantial color differences among my lenses (in recent years, all Canon other than one Tamron and one Leica on an MFT Lumix), but then again, I've never done A/B comparisons.

    Totally agree Dan. I briefly owned a Zeiss 100mm f2 Makro-Planar; I traded it when I moved to Nikon Z series body and lenses. My subjective view was that the Nikon 105mm Z macro lense was every bit as good as the Zeiss (and had auto focus which I like as fast way to hone in on the subject before finishing with a manual tweak) ... and then there's the price ...
