Here’s what I did. I used darktable 3.2.1.

I saw the heather as your focal point, but - to me - the sky was interesting enough that I needed to bring out the details there, too.

I was too lazy to take the helicopter out of the sky, I leave that to you! Fun picture to process!

…I decided I thought that the sky was a bit too much. Here’s a little brighter version with a different crop

The eye-candy version …

The muted, moody version

Maybe there should also be a “helicopter” version

A very quick edit in the sofa with my laptop. The green of the trees is a bit odd.
