One of my favorites from my photo walk this rare sunny weekend. Playing around with the agx tone mapper trying to achieve a filmic look. Interested in your take on it

I like including the man to the left so the photographer was less alone.

Cool use of masked saturation boost. Makes the subject pop
Also I find your use of local contrast interesting. It’s a module I usually avoid even with the basic settings (usually the effect is too harsh for my style) but you crank it up with 225% detail level! And then use another one with 200% again. And in the end it all looks coherent.
I think you’re really making it work and your results are usually post card ready, I just wanted to point out that it’s interesting to see how vastly differently people use darktable
Absolutely, it’s very funny how differently you can use the modules to get nice results. Sometimes the results look quite similar, but the way to it is a completely different one.

Still hunting for that elusive photo of a photographer photographing a photographer
I wound up with practically the same crop as dqpcoxeas, without copying (honest!).
A different approach
