New to raw - hate my results so far

Do you think your ooc jpg matches the colors you saw that day? Is that the right color for the sky? Did the ground have that much yellow/orange in it?

After examining the dt versions, I felt the one by @csponge was extremely close to the jpg. I duplicated it and compressed the history. Then I used denoise (profiled) to remove some noise in the sky. I used drawn masks and reduced the power factor in a color balance module to more closely, in my view, match the jpg pond. I added a very little blue to the trees behind the center pond area. Then I used exposure and color zones following instructions in Darktable Tricks - #26 by BzKevin to reduce fade in the sky. There’s a little yellow on the left side of the trees behind the center pond area that I might add, if I can, when I have time to play with it more.
