To those commenting on the halos around the branches, it's not from sharpening but from ACR processing. The halos appeared from the Recovery slider. Maybe I should not have used it but that was the decision at the time. I'll try a reprocess just for training purposes. Thanks for the comments anyway.

really interesting angle and composition. Oversharpened as there is bad haloing around the branches.

I believe there was a tad over sharpening happening here - you can see the halos around the foreground branches. Otherwise I like the picure.

The tree branches are a barrier between the viewer and the photo. Being kind of blurry and halo-ey, they kind of dominate the photo. This is a BEAUTIFUL shot, wonderful framing, lighting, texture, color, everything... except for the branches.
