Challenging red wall in Thailand

I’m very happy with this composition but I feel like the red color of the wall is off in my edit (kinda looks unnatural). Would be interested in what you can take out of this picture.

Selective masking to process the wall separately. When I tried to do an overall image enhancement, the walkway became way too purple for my taste. :slight_smile:

An attempt in DT 5. I think the bricks could be anything from orange to dark red and be natural.

Not sure what you expect from the red. The first one here I have reduced the redness using the attenuation slider in sigmoid.



This second attempt I have used the color equalizer module to increase the saturation of the bricks in a heavy handed way.

Straight output with darktable without filmic + lens correction, wb 5000K.
Then a film sim with agx-emulsion, with fuji pro 400h and crystal archive data, 1.1 print exposure and 6M filter.
