I often struggle with sunsets, but I really loved what the sky was doing here. So, here’s my attempt with DT and GIMP.

Thanks for your edit @anivegmin. If the foreground is brighter than the sun and the sky, then something is wrong on planet earth 
Haha, yes it’s very easy to lose touch with reality and disappear down a rabbit warren of modules.

Stared at this image for far too long yesterday, and as asn pointed out, the foreground/background brightness was way off. I’ve re-adjusted things plus tweaked colours and softness/sharpness a bit. I noticed on some of the previous submissions that people had managed to accentuate the yellowy/brown leaves more. I’ve fiddled around, particularly with the colour zones modules, but can’t seem to achieve the same level of colour contrast.

If you have read The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu,
you will know that it is fully plausible with more than one light source…
Or if you have slight IR vision like me. 
This is a nice photo. I might give it another attempt someday. *Bookmarks thread*.

As I am trying my hand at dartable 2.7(dev), thanks to @r3cov3r uploading the latest version for windows, here is my second attempt. I am especially happy how a touch a warmth was added to the rock in the foreground, helping to get consistent tone across the whole image. (Used parametric mask based on L channel and applied Cinematic Fuji 400 lut to the rock and the top right corner)

Now that Filmulator has highlight recovery, I had to try my hand at this.
This one took a lot of tweaking compared to most.
Highlight recovery: 2
Exposure comp: -2/3
Highlight rolloff: 0.61
Drama: 100
Overdrive: on (!)
White clipping point: 0.352
Shadow brightness: 537
Vibrance: -11
Saturation: +100
And a 5:4 crop.

I post my result (RT) and now I go back to look at the other entries: I did it blindly to avoid being influenced

My attempt with RT56: I must admit this is a challenging image 
I went for a darker, more saturated mood

I have a problem I don’t know how to solve yet: there’s some posterization in the upper part of the clouds, and exporting to jpeg makes it even worse:
Obviously, one solution would be to downscale it, maybe to 1080x1920 px
