235:. Otherwise, it's a beautiful picture; personally, I find this amount of shadow aesthetically pleasing. I do see the shadows, but there is still a fair amount of detail in them. I've noticed that people here tend not to like shadows, but the amount of shadow here hardly detracts from a viewer's ability to understand what is being depicted. In fact, the shadows give the subject some depth (figuratively and literally).

Gladly! The haloing is present where the top of the island meets the sky. This is a common artifact that occurs, for example, when a dark foreground is lightened in post-processing against a light background. I've uploaded a crop (zoomed to 150%) with red arrows indicating the location of the halo

Thanks, I see. I was looking for something much bigger. To be honest, that tiny pixel-level artefact does not spoil the picture at all for me. I do not even notice it in normal viewing. However, I understand that other people may be looking at things from a more technical perspective.
196:. Hmm, I feel completely differently about this. I think the lighting is appealing and visually interesting, and the level of detail quite adequate. All in all a fine picture, I would say.

To satisfy my curiosity, could you explain what is this thing you are calling a "halo"? I don't see anything halo-like.
133:
there is a lack of detail at full zoom. Shadow on the front is unfortunate too as loss of detail of the front.

Nice examples - I almost like the "negative" effect version! Very arty...

I try to rework it. I think it is easy to eliminate the small halo. --
