I went to see the birdie’s at the Loch of the Lowes, but there were only a couple of mallard about. So I took some landscape pictures instead.

Nice image. I wanted some contrast, so I put in the most amount of ‘toe’ I’ve ever dialed into a filmic curve, followed by a large lift of the shoulder. I also used my Nikon Z 6 SSF profile, which I think cyan-ed up the sky a bit too much, but what the hey. In rawproc:

Ah, you are one of those new fangled guys 
Thank you for sharing yet another of your beautiful photographs. I doubt it is possible to improve on your original, but here is my play.
Filmulator +2.1667 EV then into GIMP. A colour “boost” using Colours/Components and defining the black and white points using Curves.

Such a nice photo. like David I didn’t think it needed changing too much so I just applied ‘white balance’ to it. In Gimp

Nah, just an old coot in his basement… 
Your image gave me opportunity to further exercise an assertion I’ve been working with, that recent cameras of a single manufacturer had consistent spectral response. My rendition with the Z 6 profile rather kaboshes that in the case of the D850. I’d like to get hold of some D850 SSF data…

Thanks for this beautiful scene!
Here I used the XTrans III Provia LUT by @arangast in RT dev.
The left part of the image looks a bit strange, there is a kind of CA which I can only compensate using the Defringe filter for red colour.
