Thanks Bob_B, I think it's a keep, maybe even printable. Going to reset the Raw and spend a little more time making it as good as it can be!
Thank you Lux, that was basically a tutorial haha. In the future I may spend the time (sounds like a fair bit of it) actually working the local adjustments as you said.With regards to 'does it work as a whole, does it re-create what I saw and felt' I feel that it already does that. The only people that are going to say 'what the H are those halos in the trees' are photographers. I normally balk at spending the time described by you in post processing. But if I do want to print this, I suppose it makes sense that I would spend some extra time on it.ThanksDave
