Not having LR, I’m unaware of the Punch preset, but I assume from the result that it works on overall contrast and maybe colour saturation, so correct me if I’m wrong please. The detail extractor, again I guess, is about microcontrast, and brings up detail in a hazy distance, which is one of the things I noticed about that shot. Adobe’s de-haze plug-in I find works well for that in their other apps.
