That's interesting) Did you use Mac or Windows version of AuroraHDR?

Nice photo!

Black and white adds some drama to this photo. Does it look so impressive in color?

Why are you surprised? Some companies do have products of high quality, the others are trying to copy them for the sake of profit. At first glance it can really seem we're spoiled by choice but in fact there are only several decent raw converters and dozens of low quality stuff for making money. I use the one mentioned by @Photogezeer - https://macphun.com/luminar/raw-converter. Reasons? 1. I'm not a professional photographer, and it's easy for me to use.2. HSL filter. 3. White balance. 4. Possible to export to Photoshop or jpeg.

Taking pics in such a weather is a challenge. I like the photo called "Twilight", it really shows how bad snowstorm was.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me it'll happen with any photo no matter what it was shot with... Different display settings maybe. The quality of an image taken with a camera is too high for a mobile device and that's why it looks distorted. But I'm a newbie too so I might be wrong)
