Hi Gary.
I like the picture, except for the sky. At first, I thought that it was a melon. The texture and the sunrays looked like the bottom of a melon.
As to Luminar, I was very disappointed with it. I got Luminar 4 for the sky replacement and as a possible main application on a third computer that doesn't have Photoshop. I found it to be very slow and with less than perfect brushes for masking. The new sky replacement in Photoshop is far better with great control over the masks. Every version of Luminar is a major rewrite with new bugs and missing functionality. When I got 4, I realized that they removed channel swapping that I needed for IR. You could buy this function independently. With AI they added functionality that is really targeted at beginners (E.g., auto composition). They require an extra payment for each computer after the first one. I didn't get it and am not using Luminar at all. I do have ON1 Photo Raw, which is my main tool on the third computer. I use the effect module as a Photoshop plug-in. ON1 also has excellent camera tethering functionality, which I use in some of my workshops. I use NIK for HDR, effects, and B&W conversion. I also got Affinity Photo, which is very powerful and very cheap. For a while, you could get it for $25 and use it on as many computers as you need. Upgrades are free. Affinity Photo doesn't add any functionality if you use Photoshop. I just needed a good tool on the laptop that doesn't have Photoshop. |

Beautiful local scene and composition. The toning is good too. I like the way the road is leading the viewer to the scene and the bridge. On my large monitor I see some cloning artifacts around the left of the two main trees. |

Beautiful scene and picture. The composition is perfect. I would try it with less contrast, similar to the original or just a bit brighter. |

To me this looks perfect in every way. The composition with the house in the center is great. The clouds are a nice bonus. I would try to lighten the clouds on the right, but I think that it may draw the attention from the main subject and clouds in the center. Nicely done as presented. |

Nicely done. The grungy IR look works well. I also like the original version with the other cars in the frame. As you can see in my pictures, I like the images to tell a story. The elements in your original frame contribute to the story. The cleaned-up version focuses on the subject. The original is on what the subject represents. Both are wonderful. |
