Hello, and congratulation for the stunning pictures, to accentuate the contrasts while darkening the shadows I’d try :
using dehaze tool (optionaly with a parametric mask to select areas affected by luminance)
using local contrast with the reverse multiply modifier ( as shown in @s7habo tutorials on contrast enhancements)
The more interesting way is I guess channel mixer as @s7habo suggest or color lookup table if you want to be more selective.
Very interesting topic, I’m looking forward to see results and discover new tricks !
local contrast has no reverse multi option. Just for fun I tried this one with basic adjust, local contrast (no blending) and a little contrast eq sharpening.
