Edit me an Image #58

*General rules:
A previous round winner presents a busy or just not so interesting image, having at least some potential for different crops or visions.
Anyone (except author of original image) can edit the presented image, up to three distinct edits in separate posts are permitted.
All edits must be based on original image, not on another person's edits (of course borrowing ideas would not be a problem).
Short explanations about your editing intentions and/or techniques are encouraged, but not required.

Once the deadline for images has been reached, no new image versions will be accepted. Questions and (polite) discussions of techniques are welcome, so that we can learn from one another how certain edits were achieved.
The edited version gathering most likes wins and its author will start next round, unless they would prefer to pass the torch to someone else.
On the closing day for voting, if there is a draw in the number of likes for two or more edits, then the person that posted the original image will decide the winner from the the photos receiving the most votes.

Editing rules:
All "normal" adjustments (brightness, colours, curves etc) are permitted (both local and global ones).
All geometric adjustments (perspective, cropping etc) are permitted.
Artistic effects (brushes, textures etc) are allowed.
No additions or replacements may be made to the main subject matter of the image; non-essential objects may be removed, and parts of the original image can be "moved" to a different position in the image. Sky replacements are OK unless the sky is the main subject..
Generative AI must not be used.

Timing for submissions:
Let's cut off at midnight Sat 14th of Feb UTC.
As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline.*

RAW file, large... photos.app.goo.gl/JxcCnvcsqvfQgXDaA

There is potential here but the raw is a bit flat and boring. It's from the Diamond Beach in Iceland

Edit by Arvo: due to the Google Photos problems correct links to raw file and preview jpg are posted some posts further, see dprevived.com/t/edit-me-an-image-58/7961/post/113584/

GIMP - CROP - CHROMA - COLOR BALANCE>blue - USM twice.

I used Nik Color Efex plugin from DXO Photolab, applied following filters (it's my preset now for snowy scenes): * Tonal Contrast * Glamour Glow * Detail Extractor * Contrast Color Range * Vignette * Classical Soft Focus
Remove Color Cast
with following result (also cropped from top bit):

From the original small version.
FastStone and a bit of lifting via C1

Thanks for that, Arvo. By coincidence, I had just re-loaded 'Fast Raw Viewer' - there is a large difference between the raw histogram and the embedded JPEG histogram.
