Thanks for the kind words.
I got lazy and did an enhancement tweak of the photo on my tablet, using a dark/light correction filter . I didn't even notice the "halo/aura" it produced until I read your comment and zoomed in. My bad.

All's good.

Oops, deleted the narrative.

Everyone is different, however I always appreciate an attached story. We all like to think an image tells a story but more often than not it's even better when the two go hand in hand.

Thanks for the podium finish. Actually there was no post editing at all, other than shrinking the file size so that I could upload it here—other than that, this was the actual jpeg file output by my Panasonic GH5, and without using any of the built-in image effects either. I hadn't shot digital for so long, I totally forgot to check if I set the camera to save raw instead of jpeg. I may have had a physical polarizing filter on my lens, but if I did this would have been unintentional—I might have simply forgot I had it on.

Interesting. Kudos for recognizing that your image needed no help. Too many years in photo labs makes it difficult for me to go hands off.
