    ...all those years ago, they didn't have colour cameras yet, so here is a B&W rendering using the noise as authentic film grain ;-)

    The runner up is Fireplace. The image has almost same composition but B&W.

    Too noisy for my taste and I do not find this noise as an authentic film grain. I like that you cropped out the knight on the left.

    I wanted to emphasize the spread of the knights and also get rid of the noise. I looked at B&W but I liked the colours.

    Medieval Times-210716-14-1-2_(Supersize).jpg

    I agree, colored image looks better. Reduced highlights would bring back queens face and white horse.

    A colour version without the noise

    my denoise AI topaz 2.2-low-light- output.jpg

    With the help of Topaz AI version 2.2.12 :-)

    I like this crop. Would bring a bit more shadows.

    Just the two of them.

    Interesting crop, but now queen is not leading the formation. Also would tone down highlights.

    Finally, the one I really like -

    Medieval Times-210716-14_0000_(Supersize).jpg

    Good job on noise reduction. Would crop out the knight on the left. I consider color to be part of the image to show knight clothing.

    At a bit of a disadvantage with old pre-A.I.Lightroom and some old Topaz DeNoise, but it looks OK if you don't look too closely.

    This is how I processed this image.

    The princess on the white horse

    DXO Photolabs, white balance, exposure (both local and global), crop.

    Good processing. Would lift shadows a bit.

    Actually she is the Queen. 😊

    She is the Queen

    round37_DxO_2.jpg

    DXO Photolab, previous processing + attempt to make the Queen more visible - local clearview, background desaturate and soften, different crop

    Good processing. Without knights she is jaust a woman on the horse.

    Thank you all for the participation and ideas.
    All my remarks are just my opinions.
    Also I wander why nobody fixed tilt?

    Heh, I specifically darkened shadow areas to focus attention to the princess queen :)
