@Bbawt I like what you’ve done with the tone equalizer and the color balance 
I do not use these enough and here it really brings the murky areas out of the shadow and give them a proper place, the kind of tip I was looking for, thanks !
@afre I guess that I manage to get something out of the lock-down after all
@sls141 Original use of Bloom to manipulate the sky dynamic, I do not use “blend modes” enough but I’ll try that trick.
Here is an attempt to get a cheerful image using GIMP and RawTherapee.

I really like what you did with the colors, I’ll try to mimic that in Darktable
My try in GIMP. I think I got carried away with this one! Also I have just noticed that I have introduced artifacts around the rocks.
Artifacts apart (the bright sky visible through the trees and around the outer left and right parts of the horizon too ?), nice sky, tones and subtly light up houses on the coast, I like the idea !
Here’s my attempt in dt3.0.2 Looks a bit muddy in the sRGB export for some reason.
P1030207.RW2.xmp (20.2 KB)Thank you for the kind words. As to the artifacts, I think the
moral is that I should walk away at regular intervals and return
with fresh eyes. Hopefully I have learnt something from this
exercise.
@crobby49 Nice ! I’m really intrigued by the techniques you used in your edit, I’ll inspect the xmp right away !
@CriticalConundrum I like the way the light diffusion across the image is intense yet still seem natural. Maybe the center of the sky slightly blown out but the target is reach : It do not feel over processed but the final rendering is quite dramatic
I guess I should try rawtherapee too …

I wanted to entertain myself …and perhaps you guys as well. So here’s how it was done
