Very nice edits. I actually pulled back on some saturation @ggbutcher maybe a tad too much but I felt some of my adjustments were pushing it a bit too far.
These edits seem to have a bit more depth if I compare mine to them I still look a bit flat. Thanks a bunch for the perspective good learning insights.
Made some adjustments and updated my original post. Hopefully much of the flatness is gone now.
I was so enamored with messing around with the color that I neglected the high values in the water, and they all got washed to white. I let my filmic curve top out too early, need to look at what would mitigate that…
Thanks for a really nice image from which to learn…
To handle the whites from going ape while using filmic in darktable I had to keep tweaking the white exposure to compress things a little. I also made sure to stay on top of it while adding contrast. Not sure what your filmic can do but I did everything I could to keep that upper toe from flattening out.
for your crop
Very nicely cropped. 
GIMP. My attempt - not too different to the original - I tried to get a little more contrast in the water.
Still working on my RawTherapee skills, with mixed results. This one came out rather nice if I say so myself…
That crop works really nicely!
Here’s my take. When the light is flat some local adjustments can work wonders.
As usual I am very conservative on color. I always feel like it is too much until I compare it to other posts and then it look almost dull.
So ART with some added local enhancements and a panoramic crop:

I love the B&W version. There is so much detail in the shadows and I’m going to try and replicate this using the scene referred workflow as this is what I’m trying to use for all my processing now.
