I know you wanted RawTherapee edits so please forgive my darktable edit using base curve fusion and shadow and highlights modules to recover the deep shadows.

My version using Rawtherapee and adjusting saturation local contrast and
tone equalizer. Important for me is to concentrate on the object and let sun reflexes saturate.

Hey @FlowerPhotoYear , welcome to Pixls! And thanks for taking part… I had forgotten I had had a go at this one; an interesting take, I like it.

A quick heads up, try to keep jpgs (that you wish to upload here) to less than 1mb, see ths thread [Friendly reminder] Limit JPEGs to maybe full HD resolution

Set your file format in the queue to this as a general guide:

But only for uploading on this forum… do what you wish otherwise.

Cheers
