Hello,
This is a magnificent, timeless image. As there are many beautiful editions, I suggest a monochrome version.
I took the opportunity to try out the new color equalizer module of the master version.

I like the original, so in my play in GIMP I have tried to make slight changes to local contrast using layer masks and changes to local saturation.

With the new preset “Watercolour” or “Oil painting” in Denoise module (profiled) made by me:
I share for whoever wants: New preset “Watercolour” or “Oil painting”, whatever you want to call it.
It’s for me better than the DorS preset: “simulate watercolor”.
There is a module that is not intended to be artistic: “Denoise (profiled)”.
To achieve the watercolour effect, the module is configured as follows:
mode: wavelets
if exist profile: set max iso
Colour mode: RGB
tab All: all points above
strength: 4.000
preserve shadows: 1.00
Then adjust strength until it looks the way you w…

That support is theoretical at this point. It does not work , as I understand it.
Your interpretation looks very underexposed. Do you have your screen brightness cranked up high?

Inspired by @martin.scharnke version, a large format simulation straight from raw to jpg using Julia, with MiDaS for depth estimation :

Hmm, my brightness is definitely on the higher side, I was trying to match color/contrast with my phone as a reference. Maybe I should try turning it down, it feels so strange to have it lower though.

In my experience phones are generally too bright, too contrasty and too saturated.

On a hardware calibrated Eizo ColorEdge at 150 cd/m² I’d say it’s underexposed by 2.5 stops or so. Of course it’s also a matter of taste, but it’s significantly darker than every interpretation in this thread. I’d investigate.

I was definitely going for a darker/contrasty edit than others in the thread. I might try again with lower monitor brightness

Way too dark… usually default for calibrations can be anything from 80 to 120… and your room light can impact your editing too…

Ok, look like my monitor at max brightness is 294, and I was at brightness 80. It recommends brightness 24 for 100 cd/m²

Sounds similar to me… I think my monitor is around 300-350 at max brightness and I am calibrated on default of around 120 cd/m2…my brightness is set at 39%…

Generally rather than guessing the brightness and accuracy of color you should use a Monitor Calibration Device to profile and calibrate your monitor.
