Entry #1:

There is not much that I didn't like with the original photo and so I cleaned it up just a bit in Capture One Pro 23. - Highlight recovery brought out a bit of the sky, some shadow recovery, a bit of additional contrast and increased the saturation just a bit. Then cropped to 16:9.

Entry #2:

First ran through DxO PureRAW 2 to denoise, sharpen and perform lens corrections, before importing resulting DNG file into Capture One Pro 23. Then wound back exposure, performed a lot of highlight recovery and a bit of shadow recovery, increased the contrast and saturation, before cropping to 16:9.
