This photo i want to try and rescue - i no longer have the original file and need any suggestions on how the tops of the trees might be saved.

Im happy regardless but if anyone can suggest an edit - all ears

Cheers!

I think they both look great as they are. #2 has the impact that only the high contrast can give it really.

Try creating a separate layer with a darkened exposure. Then carefully rub out all areas except where the halo is around the tops of the trees. If you have photoshop or similar software which allows for the brushes to be softened, opacity reduced etc. it will be easier to do this. I think Gimp will do it you don't have PS. The blown area around the church would be more difficult, but I don't think you would want to change this part?

What do you mean by saving the tops of the trees?
