Asked a dear friend to compare 2 versions of the above image with her sharp eye. Her conclusions were most useful and I thank you dearly
Here is the revised version.
PS: I replaced the original image and all statistics, and worst of all priceless comments vanished. Just realized where I screwed up, so sorry about this!

hello sabine, we managed to save the most important things I think. See:

Acerca de Pléyades, me referí ambas veces a la editorial y creo firmemente en que no invalida el contenido. Ellos han subido un capítulo de uno de los libros que te recomendé. Dichos libros se han reeditado varias veces por distintas editoriales en vaya uno a saber cuántos idiomas y países. Si es por la línea editorial, en fin, alguna vez tenían que ponerse algo serios
PD: No me gusta que se suban capítulos aislados de los libros. Habiendo leído ambas obras repetidas veces, se elimina el contexto general dentro del cual fueron escritos, que es lo más importante para entenderlos y evaluarlos.

Entiendo, releeré entonces tu comentario e intentaré leer con más objetividad dicha página.
Un saludo

Was really doing 3 things at the same time around the house, don't know what I did. Only thing I remember is hitting something about replacing the file with a better version. Never happened to me before too. At this moment, I feel devastated!

One of the nicest discussions I have seen in such a long time and now it's gone...
Will you ask the helpdesk how this is possible?

I would, but have anything really precise and accurate to tell them. It's probably me who screwed up somewhere. My only hope is some bug at DA where in the More From section images I deleted years ago may still rarely appear. I did report it to DA, and I'm afraid they fixed the bug, but this was for deletions. Since waking up this morning nothing seemed to go right, one of those days better devoted to basic stuff only. It's early in the afternoon here and the day is already ruined. In a short while, will have to go and see one of my pupils. Poor guy if things keep on developing this way!

There's no way this should happen. I update often! Never had anything happen like this

LOL, I was.
At least, what do you think of the change in the image? It was easy to isolate the sky in Photoshop, and in Selective Correction, I applied a touch of white to both blue and cyan hues. Then inverted the selection and applied that bit of contrast the original lacked. I'm happier with the result, looks more natural. Thanks for your always welcome impressions!

Ahhh, sorry yes, of course!!! I was so distracted by your loss of comments... I like it like this! The horizon might have been maybe even 'dirtier'/lighter (but that is Really only me with my strange taste for skies!) but I love how the structures and goddess now stand out much more in the scorching sunlight! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worries, I was so distracted too that forgot to ask.
You may be right about the horizon. Just tried to recreate what I remember from sandy desolate places. When selecting the sky, I used a 10px tolerance and there was a subtle above-below gradient. Had to make more clicks than expected for the selection.
The rest of the image can still take more contrast, but would have compromised some dark areas. Photoshop's automatic contrast tool is usually very accurate. If I'm still not satisfied, I work on it manually. Interesting, I like some overexposure too!
Thanks Sabine!

Maybe that is another reason why I don't feel much like meddling in Bryce. In MB3D all the colours and horizons and the whole lot go all by themselves (at least that is how it feels). Sometimes I let Irfanview enhance the contrast just a tad, and that's it for post work. I am so lazy!!!! :}
Always a pleasure, my friend!
