Here's my attempt, I did not crop as the view is very good in my opinion, I applied some contrast, brightening, sharpening and finally applied some dehaze.
I could not brighten the red coaches but from memory, they are not that red anyway, so here is your image, edited by me using ZPS X.

I really like what you did Brian. I have been looking at Capture One for some time now. I think the learning curve is huge though and I am 72. From what I see Capture one is use much more extensively on your side of the world.

Thank you. A RAW file would have been much better as a starting point I'm sure! I have only been using C1P in earnest for about 18 months, however I had dabbled with it over many previous years. It is well worth the effort to learn it and there are masses of tutorials online and I still attend many of the webinars they do on a regular basis. The upgrade to version 11 was a huge improvement over an already very capable product. The layers features are now fantastic. Try it, I'm a year ahead of you in age and wish I had taken more trouble with it earlier. There is a 30 day free trial and many of the Capture One ambassadors have discount codes to ease the cost.
