Lluis,

I adjusted the saturation and replaced the original image.  Here is the 
link once more.

On either one, the Leica Summicron-R performs very well.  I cradle the lens hood between thumb and forefinger, and press my hand against the fence, centered on an opening.

So it must be just out of the frame on the right side or in the sky. At any rate, the XE-1 seems to be a good choice.
