OKAY! I'll pull it up, if I still have it, and take another look. I recall being especially pleased with the splintered tree shading in a scene that really doesn't, otherwise, thrill me. Ann, I didn't realize you hadn't received my reply to your off-list email. I'm using PE10. Applied your system (with variations) of conversion in random sequences. When I was content with the detail and contrast in the primary elements, I left it at that. Thanks, Ann, Bruce and Bulent.

They are "encircled" by a brighter rim of sky. I suspect your monitor might be making those halos invisible. Maybe you should examine the image using another monitor...
