OK, that wasn't fair. I just couldn't resist. And 'yes' is about all I 
know for sure.

Truth is, though, I did that in October last year and didn't keep all 
the intermediate layers. It's obvious that I worked top and bottom 
differently. Memory/appearance/practice also suggest that I did the sky 
in (a) different layer(s), too.

I don't know if I used LCE on the sky itself, maybe. Almost certainly 
Curves and Brightness, maybe Shadow/Highlight. I tend to play and go 
back when something doesn't do what I want. Mixed sky and feathery 
foliage is one of those tricky things that doesn't always require the 
same treatment. I wouldn't be the least surprised if use of a soft, low 
flow eraser in the sky/foliage area to blend layers was somehow involved.
