Navarre beach in FL, a couple of minutes after sunset last night.
Handheld at f.63, 1/60th, ISO2500. I shot it in RAW, and it's been through Lightroom for basic adjustments (a minor tweak in exposure, shadows & highlights, black & white points, and a tiny tweak in saturation), and a little bit of de-noise. Apart from the de-noise, it's not far off the the camera's (Sony A7) neutral colour profile.

Nope.
I processed a RAW file. No different to having a jpeg profile set in camera, which is something iPhone and Andriod camera's do automatically. I removed a few tiny lens dust spots, but apart from that is as it would have been straight out of camera as a jpeg.
It's not really any different to processing a print from a negative. Some of the most famous analogue images were heavily dodged and burned, and had the contrast adjusted. Dust spots were removed using pigment and a paintbrush (I've done it myself when I used wet film).
Was that cheating?
This is one of the more famous examples of such.
Here's a straight copy of the RAW file (in jpeg format so I can post it on here) in its original 6000x4000 size. The finished image is in 16:9 crop.
