Hi all,
I’m developing my old pictures with darktable. I was trying to get a dramatic feeling here, but I’m not very satisfied yet.
I would like to know how would you develop it!

I’m not seeing the raw file here. Was it removed?
Oh sorry, I forgot it. I just edited the message with the RAW file. Thanks!
I don’t have an edit, but I have been musing about this category (play raw).
I have, and I am sure that others have too, a similar picture to this. I wonder if posting my picture, and the process/edits for the purpose of comparison is a valid thing to do?
What does the commenteriat think?
In my try at this photograph I have emphasised the green of the water in the foreground, increased the contrast and made the spray stand out a little more. All done in GIMP.
I thought @Jade_NL had the right idea, monochrome. Water can have great texture in such treatment. Also let me add aggressive contrast that wouldn’t have looked good in color:
Crop put elements in the shadows in a good place…
nice Photo.
Here I have 2 edits
First one I cheated and used GMIC’s stylize on it - with the Great Wave
That would be fine as long as it doesn’t dominate or derail the thread. It would be good for you to submit an edit of the OP raw for comparison.
Excellent opportunity to stylize. Melted a few of the rail posts but otherwise a good take.
Excellent idea!
