You can improve bright-sun landscapes, but you usually can’t make midday light look like sunrise or sunset. The best options are:

• choose subjects/compositions that suit the light: layered hills, haze, cloud shadows, reflections, and colors that pop in strong sun can work well
• shoot earlier or later when possible; golden-hour light is simply more flattering
• control dynamic range with a graduated neutral density filter, or blend multiple exposures / HDR
• edit carefully: lower highlights, lift shadows, and adjust curves or contrast to tame harsh light
• consider black and white, which can make strong sunlight and dramatic skies more effective

For a scene like yours, emphasize the mountain layers, atmospheric haze, or shadow patterns rather than trying to force a warm sunset look. In general, midday light works best when you lean into contrast, graphic shapes, and texture instead of soft color.
