Re: Winter is coming
And I was feeling cold after our first frost of the year and a temperature of -2.
Sharp focus and good exposure.
The only thing I was wondering about was a slight crop from the sky. Maybe to just above the smoke on the left side.
Not sure how to take a similar amount from the sides though; possibly the right side?
Just by holding some card against the screen, this appears to give a little more apparent depth to the scene.

Hi Timo,
There's a lot that is right about this shot and it is very interesting to study.
It looks like a fairly wide angle (but no EXIF data to confirm) and I think there is is some uncorrected barrel distortion.
What PP softawre do you use?
Cheers,

Re: Winter is coming
I tried to improve the pic according to Geoff's and Dave's advices. As software I use Nikon Capture NX2 together with ViewNX2. In Capture there is distortion correction feature, which I used for barrel distortion (slider to +26). I cropped sky and tried to make vertically symmetrical composition. My lens was Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX and it was in it's wide end.

Re: Winter is coming
Possibly a pity that you had to lose the chimneys on the left; but that reduced sky certainly gives more emphasis to the buildings etc.
