luminar 4 and Sky Replacement AI

I had been waiting for some time for Luminar 4's release, and on the 18th, when it was released, I wanted to try out the Sky Replacement AI as I am mostly dissatisfied with skies and have been trying for some time to hone my skills on sky replacement. Now with the release of Luminar 4 I found what I have been looking for. FYI, I have no connection with Skylum. This image had a very bland sky and although I liked the remainder of the image and thought it had some promise. In the download, you will be able to see that the sky is replaced flawlessly around all of the vertical poles. I will not go so far as to recommend this software, but I am happy with it with only one edit.

Thanks Jim. The original was pretty bland, with no detail in the sky. I reserve the right to alter SOOC images to reflect not only what I saw, but what I envisioned. I appreciate your comment.

The replacement sky worked great for most of the image but the AI missed that isolated bit of sky between the pylons. That calls for a bit of manual cloning. I've had to spend much time with such touch ups when substituting skies the old way using Ps CS6. I have to select that area and manually clone-in a piece of sky.

You are absolutely correct. I saw that space. It was my first try. All together I was pleased though.
