Ah, this one's not cooked at all. Pretty much straight out of the camera with
simple black & white conversion.
I'm wondering if the accentuation of halos is a black & white thing, 'cause the
halo is there in the color, too, and it appears to be a natural feature of the
particular sky. But with conversion, it stands out more. Be interesting to go
back and look at some black & white from bygone days and see if there are such
effects present.
