I have this suspicion that some of the posts in this thread - since mine about
halos, may be talking at cross purposes.
I was not talking about a general, subtle brightness in the sky above/behind
the house and trees on the left. I was
referring to a generally one pixel wide, bright white border there.
Perhaps this will make it clearer.

I only corrected some sample areas. Yes, the correction isn't perfect; this is
an illustrative example, not an effort at
finished work. If my theory is correct, these borders (changing terminology)
are processing artifacts, not something the
camera captured, so correction isn't hours of cloning, but correcting the
process.
Looking at the whole image, from left to right, there are corrections on house
and first tree to its right, tops of
pilings against the sky, horizon between pilings and sign, sign and post above
horizon and left side of big rock.
That last one is correction of a black border, and you may not be able to see
it in the overall image, but it's clear in
crop 2.
