Alone in the World RP

Thanks for the kind words and helpful comments! Here goes a slightly edited version. If you can take a close look, do you still see the halo? In the original version I sometimes thought I saw it and sometimes not, now I THINK it is gone, but I can talk myself into it still being there. Still learning my way with Capture One. There is a "Halo Suppression" adjustment tool and had not used it as I was concerned that it would ruin overall sharpness and microcontrast, but I think that it really only touched the halo and left the rest of the image alone - comments? I also took care of the stalks at the bottom, but since I know they were there I can talk my way into not liking the masking - does it look too unnatural? It would be quite easy to redo in Capture One.....I did not touch the blue saturation, as the cool evening sky is what I wanted to convey, as Lon points out.

Igor - this was a 25 second exposure at ISO 400. Aperture probably f/11 or f/16, since it is a 20+ year old manual focus lens I don't have a  record, but it is what I usually go for for landscapes.

Thanks again!

PS - after uploading the photos and posting them, I think that the halo is not there in the large full-resolution image, but it appears to be there in the thumbnail and small image. Have you seen this issue before?
