Got up to about 4800' on the Blue Ridge Parkway south of Asheville, NC about an hour before sunrise this morning. Clear as a bell on the horizon so was hopeful for a beautiful sunrise. Well, never did see the sun as the fog started rolling in. This was a 3 shot bracket combined and tweaked in LR and then run through Aurora HDR 2018 as a single image. Played with many of the tools and came up with this... Before is middle exposure unedited.

The download of number two is outstanding. Distant lights and other details are excellent!

This shot is much easier to do without exposure bracketing, which brings nothing to the table here, using Photoshop or similar and a dash of Nik filters which are free. I can show you what I got from your simple middle image in a matter of seconds if you wish without the need to combine multiple images and the inherent problems that can bring.
