first snow (night)
Interesting - is this a view from your window? I see the next one is taken at a daytime. We also had our first snow here yesterday and now it is a subzero temperature at almost 10am. In fact it is snowing rather heavily now.
I like the blues, although sharpening does look a bit too aggressive for my taste - it appears the pixels are separating in the upper frame of a crane. Try to sharpen with the blending mode "Darken" (as separate layer) and then with "Lighten" on top of it (yet another layer). Mask out unwanted parts - see what happens.

Thank you for the comments Sergey. Yes, the view is from my bedroom window. I must confess I have been neglegent about my noise removal and sharpening techniques. I just use the pluggin NeatImage for noise removal and the CS2 filter smart sharpen with conservative settings for sharpening. This works ok for most siturations but it really is far from what can be done. I will give your darken/lighten blend layers with masking a try. I guess it's time to get serious about noise reduction and sharpening.
regards, bert

I like both your pictures but this one has more impact for me, I like the sky which has retained some colour and the mix of different lighting effects has produced an atmospheric image.
