Hello, thank you very much for all the advice. As I read all your comments, I immediately realize my mistakes.

-1EV was not intentional, i used "C" function on dial. There was a strong wind and this shot was one of few other attempts. I set such a low ISO thinking that I would get the best quality image, but with windy conditions, long shutter time and a light tripod (Manfrotto Traveler) it was a big mistake. In addition, the lens is very light, which makes it susceptible to wind

I`m using Capture 1 for processing(RAW). I like dark frames with the glow from the lights - this is probably what i miss the most and maybe more details in more visible scene. Some sliders and local adjustments were able to pull out some of the lights.I didn't calibrate the monitor, but I noticed that most people judge my frames as too dark, I have to look at it.

Publishing a photo in this forum was a very good idea, I have not encountered such constructive criticism for a long time, for which I thank you. I I will take your advice and try some new shots and come back here for sure.

Regards,

I
