Play JPG... rain in Canberra

I hope it’s ok to post this in Play Raw… tell me if I should change the category :grinning:
I took my old Pentax WG-5 with on a trip to Canberra recently. It’s a nice little camera, and very sturdy, being one of those ‘rugged’ compacts. It’s not the newest, and doesn’t have a Raw option, which is a big con for me now. Still, I had the in-camera image adjustments set to minimum contrast, saturation and sharpness, to do the best I could!
Wondering what you all can make of this image. It was raining, and not really very inspiring. But this is an interesting new part of the Kingston suburb.
I used DT 4.1 and the latest GIMP version (forgotten which!) to clone out some railings that I thought were distracting. I also desaturated one bit in GIMP as it was convenient, but would have done it dt if I’d thought of it.

A bit limiting without having greater bit depth in the image (jpg vs RAW) but that encouraged me to go for more contrast in monochrome.

Thanks for the opportunity to work with this moody image…

Thanks all! Fantastic versions all round.
@dqpcoxeas , I’m wondering how you got that texture - very graphic. I’ll load the xmp later to have a look.
@ejm I agree wholeheartedly about the lack of data in those jpgs… but as you say it’s a challenge :wink:
@Jean-Marc_Digne I’m glad you did a colour version, which looks much better then I thought it could, tbh. Can I ask where the LUT comes from?
@sls141 TWO very nice versions! I like the panoramic format too.

Now, keep them coming everyone… :smile:

Oh, and I meant to say, apologies for the wonky horizon…

No apology needed. Wonky horizons are fun to fix.
