Once again, I rather like the image with only a few edits, and none fancy.

dt 4.4.2

Nice shot, thanks for sharing.
Blended exposures with Enfuse and then GIMP.

Seems like a very cinematic photo to me! Using the new sigmoid ‘smooth’ preset in darktable 4.5.0 dev builds, along with a LUT from IWLTBAP.

My B&W version, mostly:

  1. Straighten up vertical lines
  2. crop out distractions(car etc.)
  3. Add local contrast to (my) taste.

Local Variance Normalization and added supernova flare to the bright light. Amplified the colors a bit as well. :slight_smile:

Thank you for the play.

The source picture is REALLY good! At many points I felt like “the more I add - the more I hurt”. I tried to make it feel as ‘real’ as possible, and letting details “pop”.
I like the play of light & shadow this edit gave me.
