Eli5: why when you take pictures with your phone (for example, of a beautiful sunset) the colours and proportions don’t look as good as with the human eye?

Something not mentioned so far: your eyes constantly move even if you try hard to stay still. Therefore, even if looking at something for 1 sec, with your eyes you experience a multitude of slightly different viewing angles; these all come with a variety of focal points, contrasts etc. Your brain blends that in a single beautiful image which we call “reality”.
