Taken tonight just before the heavens opened. I'm relatively pleased, apart from the bright bit just between the gravestone and the church.

The haloes are probably from using too large a sharpening radius. To calculate the correct sharpening radius for a given resolution divide the resolution by 200. Therefore for 72dpi (screen resolution as used for web graphics) 72/200 = 0.36. For printing larger radii are used i.e. at 360dpi best radius is 1.8. To have greater control, sharpen a duplicate layer set to luminosity blend mode and back off the opacity (and hence the amount of sharpening) too taste. The luminosity mode ensures that colours will not be effected. If you want to become a complete sharpening nerd like me, make two sharpened layers one set to darken blend mode and the other set to lighten blend mode - by altering the opacity of these layers you can control the intensity of light and dark sharpening haloes. In the case of this image you could then back off the light haloes which are very obvious.
