Yes it is 
I noticed I was trying too many different things during my first edit and jumped from one idea to another, all detail related and some not compatible at all… Ended up starting from scratch and concentrated on the colour of the sky and the overall softness. The second one I did was based on the colour orange, details and darker tree silhouettes.
I do prefer my first one though.
I’m always out-and-about at a very early time. Rain, hail or shine… I love to be living in a country that has 4 seasons, but I am happy that spring is starting though.
Nice to see a different crop. Did you do the overhead line removal in darktable?
Glad you like it. Yes, all removals were done using dt:retouch.

Nice! Probably not true to the original scene but I immediately felt this could also work with a colder color palette.

Your colour palette surely reflects how it felt! It’s still around 0 °C this early in the morning even though its late April. Only the sun peaking over the horizon gave it that warm orangey tint.
I’ve been looking at this edit a few times now and I find the colours in this one rather interesting. It has a bit of that late 50s early 60s feel to it. Nice.

Thanks
Wonderful image.
I’ve been messing with a two-part curve strategy lately 1) loggamma curve, followed by 2) control point curve to put things where I want, rather than squeezing blood out of equation parameters. With that, a crop, and a scooch of saturation, here’s what I came up with in rawproc:

You seem to be seeing/wanting the same thing that I did. Like how yours is just a little bit less saturated/contrasty then mine.
Nice crop to get around the ugly bits

Many would call it mist or ground fog. English can be imprecise and context dependent. No matter what you call it, this is a great raw capture.

Since I am completely unfamiliar with RT, I am mystified by how cleanly the lines were removed from the trees. How much work is it to do that?
Your lines were so straight in retouch; do you use a drawing pad?
Thanks for posting this very nice picture!
Here is my take using darktable.
