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.
