let’s say this is half way down the Equator…
Two versions with GIMP, one black and white, the other added a blue colour cast - so still monochrome!
RTdev:
- main processing and conversion to B&W: IMG_6495.tif.out.pp3 (16.0 KB)
- (classic) silver toning and a bit of further lightness+contrast processing:

To try to add to the serenity of the scene, I have made the image almost monochrome and cropped to a more panoramic aspect.
I like a lot the second one.
Maybe too different to the reality, but who cares (not me)
Glad you like it, but now I think that I should have reduced the saturation by about 30%!
My latest attempt to achieve what I had in mind is still not right.

I’m not good at B/W (though I love it). But this was such a nice shot that I couldn’t avoid to try it. Congrats!
BTW: time to clean your sensor!

Slightly improved (and simplified), at least to my taste. And with another crop.

I leave it as an exercise for the student at home to take care of the sensor dust.
Sloppy me … so sloppy (to say the least) that I managed to completely brick this camera a couple of months later while trying to connect a damn cheap macro extension tube
Thanks to all contributors!
Yet another attempt at this beautiful photograph. This time even more panoramic, only the slightest hint of colour and a bluish cast.
I did this mostly to show that you can use negative RGB channel settings in the gray output. I don’t know why the module on shows only positive settings. You have to enter a negative number to change the slide bar scale.
What a revolting development that was!!!
Oh!!!
