High contrasts in a man made wilderness

Who said the contrasts had to be treated? Let them shine :wink:

Here is a fairly natural HDR rendition of the scene, using Darktable:

And a manually tone-mapped SDR version (still a bit too flat to my tasteā€¦)

My initial plan was to combine both versions into the new ā€œUltraHDR JPEGā€ format (that interpolates between both images in order to produce the best rendition for a given display), but tooling isnā€™t quite there yet.
