Even under a normal lighting the warm tones of the low vegetation of the Carso upland are quite attractive, but a sunset on the sea can be a great support...

Temperature = -17
Tint = -68
The result is a greenish tint on the boats (probably given by the lighting on the right), but a more natural blue sky. I hope that Donato will not get offended by the "correction".

1) noise reduction via NoiseNinja
2) multiply layer masked on the sky
3) slight crop
The result is a bit less sharp than the original as the noise reduction should have been done masked on the sky.

In 760, "Pepin the Short", King of the Franks, took most of the south of France back from the Saracens, except for Carcassonne. True to its reputation, it remained an impregnable fortress. After a long siege, the Franks had good reason to think that the inhabitants of Carcassonne would soon starve and surrender. But Dame Carcas, the widow of the Sarrasin lord of the castle, devised a plan to save the city. She had a pig fed with the last sacks of grain the inhabitants could find. When the pig was fat enough, it was thrown over the city’s ramparts. At the sight of such a well-fed fat animal, the astonished assailants concluded that the inhabitants still had enough food in stock to stave off famine and weren’t about to surrender any time soon. And so they gave up and quickly lifted the siege. Dame Carcas rang all the bells of the city all day long to celebrate the victory. Legend has it that Dame "Carcas sonne" (Dame "Carcas rings") is where the name of the city came from.

1) selection of the woman silhouette (via lasso tool + magic wand tool) and save selection
2) expand selection (by 2 pixel)
3) invert selection
4) Lens blur (radius 9)
5) border selection (by 4 pixel)
6) Lens blur (radius 9)
The very difficult step is a precise silhouette selection. The expand+blur & border+blur create a smooth blurring around the silhouette.
