Linda, thank you for all that you do for folks on this web site. You have a dedicated skill with images and It was late tonight, but I had a curiosity as to what photoshop browser and a preset from Topaz might do with the image. It is not particularly an improvement, but reflects what I think I see in the afterglow often following a sunset here in Ellensburg. Somehow the brightness dropped about a quarter to half a stop in the transfer so the landscape returned darker.
Your interpretation is very nice! Thanks for playing, and thank you for your compliments. Much appreciated.
Just for the heck of it, I fed the DNG into Photolemur to see what AI thought it should look like. (disclaimer: I would never buy an AI program since I love photo editing, but got it free with something). It takes about 30 seconds to run through a file, during which it says things like "looking for faces, analyzing colors, looking for skies.." after which it says the thing I like most: "doing magic...", then it coughs up an image with export options.
There are people who absolutely HATE post processing, so some of them might really like this. It does a darned decent job without going too far.

Wow, the one-click sure did work well there. Thanks Minnie! I chuckled over what the software "says." Sounds like similar humor as Google ("aw snap" and "Whoa, be careful!")
Finally got some time to work on this. I liked the blue in the clouds/

Many thanks for your interpretation!

No, just a bad monitor and eyesight.

I've never been happy with my attempts. The pink color is from sunset light behind me, but there is a bit of dirty air and the deep blue shadow to deal with also.
Photo below is a jpg of the dng of the raw. Link to dng in dropbox:

Many thanks!

Here is my cut based on the jpeg. The link to the DNG didn't work for me. I added some micro contrast, some haze removal, a bit of sharpening, a bit more vibrance, and a slight modification to the lighting.

Thanks so much! Sorry about the dng; it apparently was removed during house cleaning
Linda, Dropbox photo not available, so this is from your jpg. Used adjustment brush in ACR mostly. Really interesting to see how so many of use post process differently.........as stated before, we all have our own vision of the story. Thanks for sharing this photo for us to process. Bev

Thanks, Bev! I love how you brought more pink to the sky above the cloud. Sorry about the dng - housekeeping got a little over-zealous
Super cool! Tell me again how to do that effect.

Topaz Studio....AI Remix. Within that I just fiddle with opacity and blend modes. Takes forever because no two pics are the same. When I like the color etc, I usually resize to squash or squeeze the image. With this one your 4x3 was morphed to 16x9.
I couldn't do anything with the moon that didn't totally mess it up; so, I pasted one of mine instead.
Serious Stuff!
Used Affinity Photo tone mapping persona.
