Red rocks shot at 5pm, so yes, that’s somewhat a lot of red…
Not super happy with what did my highlights and shadows algorithm on the foreground… Are your tools doing better while keeping the scenery natural?

Done: Cropped, rotated 1.1 degree CCW, H&L, just a bit of added global contrast, sharpened.
Hey @LaurentFromSF thanks for sharing… you’re going to need to add a creative commons statement for anyone to have a go at this… please. 
You should see one when you start a play raw… just use that. Or copy one from another play raw.

A first quick shot from me…
or with a bit different colour treatment:
Here was a quick ‘natural’ rendition. I used the camera WB and pushed oranges to red (tiny bit) and the yellows toward green (tiny bit). Desaturating the yellows makes the creosote bushes look a little more natural here. A thick white frame, i find, can be somewhat helpful in tracking colors.
Honestly, it could probably use a little more contrast but that wont change the color dramatically. I am on my laptop, so I may change once I take a look on my other monitor.
Nice picture. I didn’t do anything drastic, and I couldn’t really decide on white balance.
But I did use the extended matrix in input colour profile because it’s available.
Nice shot… here’s my play with RT 5.13 rc1 Tried to keep in natural, but took some red out… just because. Perhaps too contrasty… but not enough black… Anyway, here it is.
Excellent image. Thank you. I didn’t mess with the colors; I took what the image gave me (white balance: daylight).
My fav’ so far
Very nice use of wide angle!
Found it rather difficult, started over a couple of times. Tried to use AI masking but it failed me a bit here.
Wanted to give the beautiful wood at front its role as subject. Succeeded only partly.
Hope nevertheless that you like it.
2nd version, warmed up the wood in front so it looks a bit less detached from the scene…

Sorry, again me. But we are out of the Cup, so I have to compensate that somehow. 
Are you sure you posted the right image. I’m just on my Laptop, so I’m not sure if it is my display. But I don’t see a real difference or at least just a tiny one.
