Exactly same workflow as my take Sunset on Brusvikken - Darktable filmic vs sigmoid - #57 by afre. Maybe different colour space on PF export…?
Raw PhotoFlow.
Play G'MIC.
Second one in particular looks like expired film, nice work.

@arctic : Both are nice, but I think I prefer the first one. Both are nice examples that show that adding “grain” (digital noise) can make a positive difference.
@afre : That is a remarkable difference between end results if the workflow was identical. I initially missed your second Sunset on … edit, which is really nice and soft by the way and the above result doesn’t come close to that. Interesting…
@Soupy : Artistic complementary (or the RYB model) works well here doesn’t it?

I saw something in the original that I also wanted to explore but did not in my first edit. Inspired by all the other edits I decided to give that idea a go.

Depends on the stats of the image. It is simply a bunch of curves, denoising, blending and sharpening. With a few more steps:

Love the picture. This screamed out to me for this anamorphic lens flare but I could not create it. Has anyone a good tutorial how to create anamorphic lens flare with GIMP or similar?

Is this what you are looking for? I can teach you how in RawTherapee Dev.

Yes, this is the effect. It is basically a bloom effect but only in 1 direction. How do you do this? However, I do not have RawTherapee DEV 
.
You can download the nightly from here, but hopefully within a month or two there will be a full release of version 5.9. I have been watching the conversations amongst the developers, and they seem to be nearing the establishment of a release date 
In order to create the effect, I used Local Adjustments. As a primer for using LA, you should watch @Andy_Astbury1 's video. The interface is a bit hard to wrap your head around, but once it clicks its pretty straightforward.
I will try to work on a separate tutorial for lens flare and post back here, as I don’t want to highjack this thread.
Edit: The tutorial can be found here Tutorial: Using Local Adjustments to create lens flare

Years later … I am using Davinci Resolve to do this:
This is the effect is was looking for. I dont think it exists in Darktable or Gimp in that fashion.
