My initial remark was about the darkness of the sky and the grilled highlights which to me meant the light conditions were out of the range of the sensor - I then thought of a polarizer as they usually distort the colour rendition, here that of the sky looks like underexposure - perhaps to preserve the highlights? This I DK. The whole thing has nothing to do with leica nor noctiluxes but sensor range and sensitivity. Perhaps HDR would have saved the shot???
