My take...
I quit posting on TE because of the scarcity of meaningful critiques. (And I wrote a lot of critiques, tossed no sugar plums.)
Now TE has a new owner. Perhaps a change might be possible.

"1) Decide which language we should use for the names of cities: English or the local language (e.g. "Antwerp" or "Antwerpen")."

Re: Lens or situation??
From the mid '60s to early '80s I took a number of long trips (Mexico, Canada, lots of the US, India, France) with only a 50mm lens. When I look at those pictures it shows.

Re: Lens or situation??
On my last trip I took a 10-17, an 18-55, and a 50-200 with a 1.5x dSLR (K100D).
After a couple of days I quit carrying the 10-17, I just wasn't using it for the type of shooting that I was doing....

Thanks for the feedback.
"Wonder if the contrast could be adjusted."
Which way? Don't think I could boost it anymore as some areas are already right at (or over?) the point of being blown out.

My critical take on this shot is that there is no strong main subject. What is in the dominate position (and most sharply focused) is the foremost table of dishes. The lack of a strong main subject...

At 80mm at 1/125 and IS it's not likely to be movement. Either camera or subject.
