Here's my effort from the 2nd RAF: Quite a tricky edit, probably not to everyone's taste. Basically, LR -> auto settings, cranked up Contrast and Temp, added a touch of Clarity.  Bit of tone ...

Happened to go for a walk in Chopwell Woods today and couldn't resist this:

Possibly my final pics of 2019, a quick trip to the beach - sun was disappearing fast but there was enough light to grab a few reasonable snaps with some contrasty clouds. #1 #2
