Took displayed picture today but for the life of me I cannot get rid of that dark blue outline around the leaves.
Could anyone tell me exactly how to go about it.

Thanks.

Mike,
There's not a huge amount that can be done about it... other than tone it down (a lot!).

Here's my quick take in Photoshop/Elements:
1. Add a new layer
2. Change the layer blend mode from "Normal" to "Color"
3. Pick a small soft brush. Opacity around 50%
4. Hold the Alt key down and click on the blue sky next to the bright blue fringing.
5. Now paint over the bright blue and it'll tone down

For areas near the leaves, you may find that a shade of green works better.
Took me about one minute to do the job

Hope that makes sense!
