The pleasant feeling of holiday season

A few years back I spent an evening with friends in Zurich, Switzerland. Later at night I walked along Bahnhofstrasse, the famous shopping street. A tram zoomed by at Paradeplatz, the square surrounded by Swiss banks, and the famous Confiserie Sprüngli.

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
