Although I have mixed feelings about adding non-original elements into a photograph without disclosure, I decided to play around with sky replacement and some other effects (using Luminar NEO) applied to some photos from a workshop I attended in Moab several years ago. Most of the photos I will post here were displayed here a few years ago. Either of these photos is much more dramatic than the original with a drab gray sky! The drab sky did direct your sight to the model - a dramatic sky competes for your attention, but does make the image a little more artistic.

I agree 100%! Very different results, but never distracting!

And when the lighting does not match, as in the night sky in particular, these images are transformed from photograph to art.

cool use of new technology. i have mixed emotions about the addition of elements not actualy photographed, but the effect is definitely interesting, and makes the photos "pop."

I like the different vibes with the different skies, nicely done. And yet another area of photography I need to dive in, learn about and get better at!

Lovely work. Doesn't distract at all (quite the contrary) as it is the "background" and compliments, rather than competes, with the model and main focus.

I am going to go with #2 sky. It really aids the composition. Super well done, BTW.

Lovely images! Perhaps try lowering the "Saturation" slider?

Be well! Ed

Luminar Neo does an excellent job of sky replacement!

My preference of the three is definitely #2.
