•  Info The Fernsehturm (in english "Television Tower") is a television tower located in central Berlin, not far from Alexanderplatz, Germany. The tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the administration of the German Democratic Republic with the intention to became a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today. With its height of 368 metres (1,207 ft) (including antenna) it is the tallest structure in Germany, and the second tallest structure in the European Union just beaten by the Riga Radio and TV Tower, which is 50 centimetres (20 in) higher.

• Mild  Support - You got a really good view of the tower. Excellent composition (as usual). I'd request removal of the star trail, and if you think it would improve the photo to reduce noise, do it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:28, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment The whole picture is leaning to the right slightly and the light trail of the car on the left bothers me. At this place there's not that much traffic so you could have waited for the cars to pass by before taking the picture. Additionally, I think you applied to much noise reduction. The image seems overall quite soft to me. And then there's this tree on the right which spoils the symmetry completely. --Code (talk) 08:54, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Question - What I was interpreting as noise is really unsharpness, or what? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

• Well, in fact I don't see any noise. I think Poco applied too much NR. Sometimes a little amount of noise looks much better than too much noise reduction which sometimes (and in this case) makes a picture look like a painting. --Code (talk) 10:20, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

• I don't know much about the technicalities of digital photo processing, but what do you think is causing the haze on the tower, and even more so, on the buildings in front of it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:44, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

• I think it's either the noise reduction or the focus was wrongly set. Hard to say without having seen the RAW file. --Code (talk) 16:40, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

• Seems to be noise redction. The buldings below the tower have the same issue (dark with missing dark details) as the spot of dark trees below the Park Inn, left of the do not enter signs. KennyOMG (talk) 18:22, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment Code, Ikan, KennyOMG I've just uploaded a  new version: improvement of symmetry, tilt, clone out of star trails and reduction of denoising (which was not really high, but ok). Poco² 19:58, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment - It's a bit better, but my general feeling about this picture is that it looks pretty good though just a tad hazy at full-page size, but looking at it (either version) at full size, there are some quite hazy areas, and while good, I don't think it's one of your best pictures. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:10, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

• That seems to be true. I will this time hardly get the 28 supporting votes of my last FP, but I still believe that it deserves the star. Poco² 20:22, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Support I kind of like the way that the lights on both sides remind me of the Wall when it existed ... there's about the same amount of space between them. The traffic lights look a little weird due to the long exposure and the editing but they're not the subject of the image so that's OK. Daniel Case (talk) 16:35, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
