Here is my take. Required lots of tuning and patience. Doing this from a sad screen so I don’t know how good or bad it looks. In my estimation, it is average looking compared to the other attempts. However, I hope it recovered enough of the sky and greenery to satisfy @isagalaev.

PhotoFlow
a) Linear Rec.2020 with negative clipping. -
gmic
a) Curve to remove linearity.
b) Subdue details (guided smoothing) in prep for #3. -
CLAHE(wish gmic had it). -

a) Expose shadows (luminosity mask).
b) Curve to increase contrast + brighten shadows, stretch chroma, recover details (guided sharpening).

Enjoy!
