Marnie, please understand that I'm not offering the attached as a BETTER version. I, also, hope it's OK I did it. I,first, went to PSE5 Enhance menu (Light/Shadow slider) and slightly lightened all shadows. I then used the Magic Wand tool and lightened the sky. I see some slight glow around the top of the trees, but not along the top of the garage. For overall effect, I sort of like your "dark mystery" version.
