This is gorgeous tonalities/luminosity. And a real goof to boot :-)

"Flagrant" is the best adjective for this in-your-face riot of color.

I have never been a "professor", which is an earned title of distinction, but I did teach photography at the University of California and in Zone System workshops, and the bulk of my working career was spent as an architectural photographer. I just happen to be good at explaining things about photography,. I think :-)

And of course my opinions are just that; *opinions* — not everyone agrees with my aesthetics (see my very low scoring average for the proof), and I'm just an average good photoshopper for someone of my experience. It just so happens that this experience is rather extensive, but this is a function of age more than brilliance :-)

That's pretty flagrant... Interesting to see you going harsh on us instead of soft :0)

Yeah, this one is VERY luminous :-) But "luminosity" as a concept doesn't have to be extreme, merely present. It describes giving life to the light. BTW, this is nearly straight from camera...

Some careful selection on the fence and burning it down a zone or so would do wonders for this appealing image

That's a nice use of motion blur.
