My thought exactly! The world of B&W photography is elegant, inspiring, traditional, expressive, and fully available to anyone who is “color blind” just as much as those who are not. Not a nutty idea at all!
Darktable 4.0
In Firefox the right rendition in Chrome it is too contrasty, subtle but it is noticeable.
Here’s mine done in darktable 4.1.0. Retouch module has no problem taking care of the lens flare.

Thanks guys, this is fantastic.
Who would have thought there were so many ways to do things in DT.
I’ve downloaded all the xmp files and I will go through them one at a time.
I’m learning so much but think it will take a few months before I am confident enough to put Lightroom to bed. I mainly do motorsports, classic and custom car shows so as it’s nearly winter here in Wales, I have a good few months to play.
Yes, I do the odd photo in monochrome but my main interests are motorsports and car shows, and it’s the vibrant colours that I enjoy.
I don’t want to use monochrome just because I have trouble with colours. I did once, after knocking my WB setting, post a whole album of beach racing with green sands, and no one said anything until my ex pointed it out. She did one for me and I copied the temperature to all the others, seemed to work
Colour “blindness” is a daft term, most of us see colours but can’t detect subtle differences, and it gets far worse in low light. Therefore, for me, I prefer to shoot in the harsh mid-day sunshine otherwise landscapes appear very dull and bland.
Thought I would throw up one more approach. Tough lighting situation.
Latest windows build.

Hi, my tuppence worth. I tried to remove the worst of the lens flare, show some texture in the foreground conifer hedge, keep the over all colour bluish to give that cold feeling whilst not loosing the orange tones of the sun.
Hello,
A nice challenge, here is my version with Darktable 4.1.
That’s amazing, I love it
I tried to embrace the warmth of the sunlight. I used RawTherapee and a Velvia film SIM.

I have to say, the play raw category is quite addictive, so … keep’em coming!
