I haven’t done much. Mainly cropped and added a bit orange to the highlights, removed a lens flare. I like the details on the roof and I rather happy how the picture came out (with my cheapest lens, the M.Zuiko 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R).
Often you go in completely different directions than I can even think off… Let’s see what you make with it
Rotated and recomposed for thirds, removing stuff too much in the dark and distractions, corrected exposure for the bottom part, pastellized colours with one my fav’ luts, sharpen to maximum.
I tried to lean a little bit more into the hints of purple in the sky. Maybe a little bit to much
Then I introduced some glow with diffuse and sharpen and added back some local contrast later.
When I first saw this plat raw I thought: Oh no… not another sunset, I’m not very good with these… So applied a Mechalis Menten stretch, and a GHS on the sun, bit more chroma and a little contrast…
But I am feeling ok about my output here… It’s ok in my mind, feel realistic (even though I was not there).
Started with a b&w version - except for the stadium roof.
Then I discovered that removing the b&w step improved unison of the surroundings with the roof…
Removed as much as I believed to be possible to concetrate on - what I believe to be - the subject…
Had to try this one with rawproc’s ‘fixed’ highlight recovery, where I removed the hard-coded per-channel white points and replaced them with the proper per-image computation:
