Sunset reflection

Found this photo I’ve never edited properly before, so now I share it to see how you would render this :grinning:

Nice shot! There’ll be much better edits than mine - I don’t think the noise permits such a heavy crop as I’ve done - but I like the David Lynch quality of those windows when they’re separated from the landscape. :slight_smile:

I really liked your original edit and couldn’t see how I could do a better job.

I like the original rendering very much, so I made only a slight variation, albeit with some different modules …
Made with darktable 5.1 (857) …

Nice shot, difficult to edit. My attempt with ART and Auto Matched Curve:

Noisy indeed, but I find the first edit is beautiful as well! I haven’t checked the histogram or anything for clipping (in the initial edit — and I don’t have DT), so my intention was to more or less reproduce in RawTherapee.

The noise levels in the blue of the sky deserve some work, I think.

This picture looks like from another planet and there are already very nice edits. So I decided to be a bit experimental…
