The clouds could be doing it or the paper clip one side of my monitor is
sitting on.

OK. Tell me what caused this. It's a sunrise shot in early
September, in New England. I may have tweaked the levels
in photoshop, I don't recall. I do know that the original had
that ring around the Sun, right out of the camera.
The shot is over a year old, so as I said, I don't recall how
much I may have tweaked it. Not much, if memory serves.
My guess is ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Gear used is a Nikon D50, w/ Sigma 24-70 f2.8 zoom.
Might have had a PL or haze filter. Not sure.

I'm not saying this photos is done like this but...
This sort of thing usually occurs when you try to increase the saturation
and contrast whilst in 8 bit mode. You can do a double "mask" with generous
feathering then blur the area to remove it but frankly, I see it as an
element of the photo. I'd leave it there.

This shot wasn't altered in photoshop, The only change from the raw
image is a boost in colour saturation in DPP.
The only time it went through photoshop was when I transfered from DPP
and saved it.
Golden summer sunset 
Linear Mode
