I went for a more story-like edit. I tried to make it feel like everything led your eye, or the traveller into the darkness beneath the tree. I used a bit of masking to focus attention on the center of the image and then shaped the colors to be a little more forboding and less beautiful.

NOTE: this used AgX as the tone mapper.

Please down scale and compress your jpeg that you post here!

You can zip the rapidraw data file.

Contrasts and colours are nice but please make a jpeg that’s smaller than the raw file

I tried to emphasis the tree in the center using saturation and light with some local adjustments.
