Your version viewed 100% is what I love about RT - such great detail. Can’t wait to try local adjustments.
Dark clouds can make for great photos! Wind, not so much. I can see what you were going for - no noise and deep focus - but a faster shutter could have negated that motion blur. Still, quite a nice shot.
Do have a look at @Andy_Astbury1’s video’s about this new tool. Great starting point to get a grasp on/insight about this tool.
I like this toned down (and more detailed) version a lot better
A slightly different approach in RT, use the Lab LH CH and CC equalisers to reduce the blue branch (you’ll not unseen it now) from this
to this
upside graduated filter to tone the path down, and a vignette

well, you could also use the raw ca correction tool in RT
Left without, right with raw ca correction:
more that one way to skin a cat
I’m liking RawTherapee more and more, but I haven’t abandoned darktable just yet…

Different crop and other attention points.
Here a black & white version with almost IR quality . Some artifacts, though.

Attempt 2, it seems like I overcooked it the first time. The details in the leaves are gone…IMG_2464.CR2.xmp (11.2 KB)
My Take, mostly filmic, tone equalizer and color balance. Warmed up the WB.

really needed to massage the different layers of contrast in this one. Nice shot.
