Nice photo, I love the mood of it.
Anyway, almost all of the correction concerning the “jaundiced halo” was done in the reconstruction section of the Filmic RGB module. There are a wide variety of possibilities for those settings, I just came up with something that pleased me.

Yeah, you’re right. The sun is way too high for the dark rendition we’re all getting.
i like what you did there!

@priort’s moderation applies to other areas of post-processing including dehazing. If you go overboard with the recovery, it tends to backfire, so leaving some overblown highlights makes sense. I am sure some more gradient and detail can be eked out though.

A quick go from me

I like using sigmoid (instead of filmic), and for ‘classic’ colourful sunsets, it can work well to lower the preserve hue slider - to zero in this case!
By the way, you’ve probably already found this, but just in case - you can easily apply different sidecar files using this button in the lighttable.
Edit: I decided a brighter rendition would be better. Same processing, just raised exposure!

That made me think of the summer we had in Canada this year. With all the wildfire smoke, we were seeing orange skies 2-3 hours before sunset. So that led me to this quickie edit:
I thought the foreground was way less interesting than the sky, so I cropped a lot of it away (but didn’t lose the bird). I had my first ever play with sigmoid, and used it to find what I felt was the happy medium between the dreaded salmon and the dreaded “jaundiced halo” (@mleczkomatik, do a search for “rat piss yellow” for several other discussions on the latter).

With the sun this high in the sky, the scene was likely brighter than this, but I liked a darker look overall, with emphasis on color, enhancing contrast in the sky, and bringing the direct foreground up to be slightly visible and naturally green, which contrasts with the orange of the sky.

Hello,
Here’s my colorful interpretation, I’m a fan of the sigmoid module and its new “primaries” function.
