Thanks, indeed it was a greyish day, sun rising in the back.
This added to the contrast in the colours between the sky and the fields.

Capture taken with D5100 Sigma 10-20/3.5 20mm f8 1/250@ISO200

One of the creek paths I am want to wander. It may look foggy, but that is dust from the winds blowing today

I reprocessed some older shots.

I knew how to capture the dynamic range I need but I didn't get it back out. My mistake was not setting the white balance correct and being too early with setting the white and black. I now set WB to shade which is counter intuitive but that's how I get the real colors. Then after killing the highlights and shadows, I have to normalize the exposure again and apply a gradient to adjust the exposure of the sky. Only after that I should set white and black and can further fine-tune it.

It takes time to find out those tricks.

The dynamic range in a single shot is superb shows whats in the camera when in the right hands. You are right on the limit here.

Yeah, the D3300 and D750 are amazing at capturing the range. Both are fairly identical for these shots. I can under or overexpose two stops on both with minimal loss at either side. Three results in severe clipping and those are only usable as B&W.
