I’m interested in either B&W or color edits with any FOSS editor of your choosing. Enjoy!
It’s a 104mp RAF file which is too large for upload here (I know, I could have my camera use lossless compression), so this is a link to it. (Let me know if the link doesn’t work—I haven’t tried sharing from my Proton Drive account before.) Also, ignore the dirty sensor.

The download went fine for me. I struggle to edit the image because of the super strong backlighting - I get a big, dark halo way out from the sun, and nothing I’ve tried tames it.
While I like Monochrome on some subjects. There are Pics, which simply loose their character with B/W. THat’s my opinion and doesn’t have to be shared by anyone else. 
This beautiful capture deserves imho some colour.
or just slightly different:
@Tim I’m interested to see what your edit modules look like, so later today when I get home I’ll download your xmp.
@Roberto_Vacchi I like the light glow on the field!
@Popanz I have 5 or 6 shots of this scene, and two I have kept as color. But very few of my prints are ever in color.
@hatsnp I love the blown out area around the sun which gives it a completely different look! Yes, I’m spoiled with the freedom the GFX gives me, but i found that last year at least 30% of my digital shots were with my micro four thirds and 20% with my Android phone. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you. 
Oops. “Honey, I blew up the Refuge.” 
I started with the exposure slider and mis-clicked on the “black level correction.” That’s it. Looks a bit like “Trinity” with some severe color fringing.
Have a good laugh at my expense.

What a beautiful morning and photo!
While understanding the black and white version - I started solely with analog b&w - I found this one the magic to be in the golden glow. Wanted to convey softness and warmth with this interpretation.
Messed up a couple of times and started over again trying a different route. Glad you posted this one.
Hope you like it,
Kind regards Jetze
An attempt in black and white too.
I like it better in color.

Nice shot, the level of details is impressive

LMAO thanks for a good laugh
Yeah, those dewed spider rags… saw them too!!
Liquid Rescale, aka, Seamcarving followed by some image enhancements (should have done better with that; lol). 
Do not think it is said but think it should be: "what a nice b&w rendering did you make!"
Lots of use of color balance rgb and local contrast - interesting.
Kind regards, Jetze
@Doug-Phoenix Dang…that’s a classic mushroom ‘cloud’ in the center!
@Jetze I too started with analog B&W, and that’s where my heart is. I spent the day yesterday shooting a roll of Ilford Delta 100 with my Spotmatic F. And thank you for the kind words about the photo. In my B&W edit, I tried to get the hazy, misty fog that was throughout the middle of the image, especially above the sun—the local contrast GFX - mids and local contrast GFX - highlights helped bring up that haziness. I love color balance rgb! Because of changing the pipeline order, changing the linear chroma and perceptual saturation sliders has a very subtle change. I don’t know if you looked in the 4 ways and masks tabs, but I heavily use those tabs in nearly all of my B&W work.
@Roberto_Vacchi Thanks for the B&W edit—I like it!
@gigaturbo I take no credit for the level of details. 
I like the colors you ended up with. The dewy spider webs were a bonus for the shot…I particularly liked the one you highlighted and this one
@Tim You definitely got that haloing under control nicely! I like that you reduced the haloing so much that some of the clouds in front of the sun are visible, which is what I did with one of my color versions as well.
@lightlover I like the overall hazy look, which the morning definitely was.
@Dito_Budi I like that you were able to keep the specular highlights from the dew on the grass under control in the foreground—I found myself trying to clone them out of the B&W edits because they are so visible. Hot pixels could only seem to get some of them removed.
@Popanz Your second attempt is similar to my color edits as far as the color/warmth. I do love the golden color shining from the field.
@tankist02 I like what you achieved with ART!
@lylejk You melted the tree!
