Did this on my Surface 3, which handicapped my time. Also, found that rawproc wasn’t using the black subtract correctly, so I had to accommodate that. About 8min:
Rather non-conventional filmic parameters to lift the shadows instead of crisping them, and an aggressive saturation.
Now, need to find a better way to handle black subtraction. This is one of the reasons I do PlayRaw; I’m a Nikon shoppe, so seeing other cameras’ raws is beneficial…
My attempt. Didn’t check the exact time, but should be around 10 mins. I actually did one version in about 3 mins, then went and played with some other raw files. Then came back and edited this some more. I’ve tried adding some haze around the borders.

I also had difficulties with the picture, that one took me about 10 minutes. It seemt to me that darktable recognized it as jpg instead of raw ?!
Second take. This time with RT instead of PF and with CLAHE instead of my custom commands on the illuminance component. Finally with a bump in chroma to compensate for the greying of CLAHE. 10 min this time, which includes opening RT to saving the final image.
I wouldn’t be able to find it again The vilage is called “Marzysz” (en: “you’re dreaming”;)) It’s ~10km from Kielce, near Borków. In general it’s Holly Cross region in Poland.
For comparison some Luminar output (is this cheating? Not opensource, but free trial and fun to use. ). boosted shadows, lowered highlights, lots of AI structure and golden hour.
