Thanks for sharing @aadm. As usual, the subjects and framing are spot on and interesting. It will attract lots of Play Raw ers.
I for one was definitely attracted to play with these images!
In GIMP. I tried to stay with the theme of high contrast, while attempting to bring out detail in the darkest parts. Increases of local contrast in most “zones” of all three.
Another approach. High contrast images are often great for b&w conversion. Just b&w transform plus some minor adjustments (sharpening, local contrast, exposure).

I like this; a bit darker than my version, a bit more stern, rocks are the right color too
…and this too! sharper (I need to dig into your xmp to see what you did) and you nailed the trees in terms of color, thanks! Did you use dt 3.8?
(I’ve also enjoyed the b/w versions)
Yes, 3.8.1.
Thank you, really nice shots!
My version of the forest, with a bit narrower crop.

DT 3.8.1
I like the crop: it’s bold!
