I'll play too.
Mondscheinbrücke: tried to make it look like moonshine, what it apparently is.
This image seems to allow a lot of different processing, interesting.
I applied 3 layers to darken parts in Capture One. And the usual sliders.
the other one was hard. It is overprocessed quite easily, and all I can come up with looks boring. One darker version, and one more high key, to bring out the fog more.

Both images edited in RawTherapee. Adjust white balance, adjust luminance curve, adjust chromaticity curve, repeat, adjust contrast slider, rough sharpen and resize. I try to develop a story in my head while processing photos, and keep those in mind as I'm making adjustments.
Here, the story in my head was "hide and seek," of a boy playing around the neighborhood after dinner.
Here, the story in my head was a quiet town that was about to be upset by conflict between the wealthy resident on the hill and the rest of the village.
I haven't looked at these in different light, so there are probably brightness and color problems, but I got to the point where editing became work rather than fun.
Thanks to folks who post their images--both originals and interpretations of them.

RawTherapee, not something I've come across before, though unless the red colour cast was deliberate it seems like it may be missing a proper colour profile for the A7 at this time.
By the way the "wealthy residence" is the local Abbey consisting of 20 nuns
An interesting range of styles for the images though.

Actually I was pleasantly surprised at how well the rawtherapee shot came out. It used to be my tool of choice until I got a nex7 and it simply failed to handle the noise. I'll have to run one of my A99 raws through it when i get home. It has a metric fork load of tools built into it and best of all for me it runs natively under linux.

I have one quite the oposite.
I call it white out, since it was shot in total fog.
Interested what you will make out of it.
I also link to a downsized raw, because I don't know where to upload larger files.

Yup, no profiles yet in RawTherapee, though it works with A7 files which is more than I can say for my copy of Lightroom 4. The color cast is obvious in different light, or at least after not staring at it for so long. (FWIW, I used a shadow on the Abbey for white balance, so I probably assumed the one-click result was a bit cold.) +1 to the lesson that taking a break from editing an image to look at it with fresh eyes is important. That said, RawTherapee is free software that I've been very happy with for black and white conversions, and its sharpening and lateral chromatic aberration correction seem better than what Lightroom offers, not to mention it having a plethora of curves to edit, so I recommend trying it out to anyone who might be interested.
Hah! I love how my fictions stray from reality. Good on the nuns and their community for keeping up what appears to be such a nice place.

I think it would be interesting if everybody would give a like to the version they like best, and the file owner would always put in their own version after a while and comment on which version he would pick and why, and hopefully also learn how to do it (better).

Cyra,
I gave this one a shot but couldn't get past the posterization. Adjusting the curves, I ended up with only about 26 shades of gray (one-tenth of the eight bits). For my level of skill, it would take considerable hand editing to blur out the bits without detail while keeping the interesting bits. I'd be interested to know how anyone else might get past this.
