Help with a barn

I combined three pictures in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2 to get this. I like the way it makes the tin pop on the barn. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the outline (glow) at the top of the barn to go away. Do you think it detracts from the picture? Any comments and help will be greatly appreciated

Yes. It was suggested that I post it here since it is an HDR image.

This is called a halo. It definitely pulls you away from the subject, it follows around the trees and barn. What do you use for PP?

Using Photoshop CC or CS - You use one of the lasso tools to draw a line a long the edge of the roof and etc. and then continue the line around an inch above the roof and trees and draw it back until the line touches the starting point of you line . Then you use the clone tool to take a sample just above the area you want to cover - then move left or right - take another sample - click to cover the area you want to remove - move again - do the same thing . Moving and making a new sample will let you keep the same lightness or darkness in that area . I went ahead and removed the bright area for you . Tommy

Halo is often seen in some combinations of tone mapping used in HDR processing. You could try adjusting the HDR controls before tone mapping. For me the halo is usually undesirable in my photographs, but I'm sure it has its uses. If the photograph that you visualized in your mind has a halo, go for it. If not, try new tone map settings. Cutting out the halo in Photoshop is certainly possible too.

I put just one photo through the HDR process and this is what I got. I know HDR is about blending the different exposures, but sometimes you got to bend the rules.

If you would post the original you may get more input on rather your take on HDR was a good one. At this point I'm not getting it.
