Unfortunately you've also considerably 'enhanced' the JPEG artifacts in
the sky. But if the original image is less aggressively compressed than
the posted version (if at all) I expect your adjustment layers could be
applied to it with a better result. Either that, or apply a large-radius
blur to the ostensibly flatter areas, through a mask, before stretching
the colour levels.

The branches certainly look strange, almost solarized. An interesting
effect, although they've become very 'plugged up'.

That often happens with compressed images. I was aiming for better
contrast between the comet's tail and the background sky, so yeah I did
stretch the colour levels a bit much.

Looks nice. About the only way I'm going to get to see this one, I'm
afraid. We've got some serious rain going on now and all through the
weekend with flooding expected come Sunday night.
