Nice shot. Very Cornish 
DT5.6 Just a general contrast lift on the clouds and cliffs, this one.

Very nice, and where in Scotland this might be?

Swapped out the basecurve for ACES 2.0 TM
Then tried the 3D Colorimetric TM
All other settings the same between versions…

This is my take:
It seems like the original image has black bands on the right and bottom side, or my code failed to load this one ??? So, I cropped.
I highlighted the foreground and deliberately kept the cliffs a bit in the dark to create ‘atmosphere’. I used the sea foam of the waves for the White Balance and then applied my “Crispy Autumn” LUT for color grading. Some might say I am cheating by using LUT’s… Then finished with some sharpen.

I don’t see any black bands. It’s a Sony A7V so a quite new camera. Maybe that’s the reason and there are some problems interpreting the RAW . What I often recognized on your edits (for example as well here), are pinkish areas mostly in direction to the highlights. Is this by intend?
Seems you had a very nice journey using an equally nice new cam!

My take, did not feel I wanted to do much! I like this kind of scenes a lot!

Result is not so very far from yours…

I am using LibRaw to decode raw files and, yes I just checked, the A7V is not fully supported yet.

Hi. I learned only today about play raw, and I like the concept. So here is my first post and my first contribution. Very nice photo, there is not much to improve. Once I was finished, something was missing, so I added a small artificial light in the top left.

Hi @F22 welcome! Please keep your image size at around 1080P and file size ~1MB!
Oddly, I also see the black bands if I try to open the raw directly in Spektrafilm. I don’t know what they use to decode raw files. I’m continuing from a linear tiff exported without a tone mapper from darktable (only a slight bump with tone eq on the cliff faces first)…

(ektar100 on supra endura with a slight Y filter shift. Was going to add diffusion for no good reason, but it doesn’t look good with landscapes, which makes sense.)
(then cropped and framed back in darktable)
