A windy evening by the North Sea. A thunderstorm was rolling in, resulting in this scene of dark clouds against an orange horizon.
The ISO was set to 5000, so there's a lot of noise. In cases like this, I like to suppress colour noise as much as possible while not suppressing luminance noise at all. This way, the most obnoxious kind of noise is gone without the picture becoming too blurry.
As you may have noticed, I also fiddled with the colours to increase contrast a little. This is what it looked like originally.
