When I do blending and/or dodging and burning, I find a dark subject is better to make darker so giving a dark halo rather than a bright one. For example, a bright halo around a mountain peak is more noticeable than a dark halo on the mountain. Same with trees and sky: darker trees are ok, but a bright halo in the sky gets noticed.
