Today I went back to a bunch of photos I took several years ago on a dismal fall day. Editing vistas taken on dismal days is something I find really difficult. This was a grab shot with a little 12 MPX Lumix LX-100 (version 1) that I sometimes carry in a fanny pack when I don't want to shlep my real equipment. this is a severe crop, leaving only 5.4 MPX, because I needed a longer lens. Comments welcome as always

Re: salvaging an old photo?
When I get into a situation like this one, I spend some time dodging and burning as well as making exposure and contrast adjustments. I found the background hill a bit too magenta, so I took that down as well.
Your "dismal" lighting is generally ideal for this kind of scene. The non-directional lighting is quite benign.
