It’s been only a very few days since I joined this community, and I’ve had so many inputs, so many things to think about. This site does a meritorious job with a community that is a huge source of expertise.

Nice interpretation. Welcome on board.
You have to use the raster mask feature for that.

True, I was referring to that and then I knew what was going on.
The problem was that Blur1 goes before Monochrome1 in the pipeline, therefore, Blur1 does not see the raster mask of Monochrome1.
To do this I would have to move Blur1 up to after Monochrome1 in the pipeline.
Thanks kofa for the link. Point 2 is the one I didn’t know:
- Raster masks are passed up the pixelpipe after module processing - they can only be used by modules that come later in the pipe than the generating module.
One trick you can do is to create a ‘dummy’ module instance early in the pipeline (such as exposure with no correction set) with drawn + parametric masks covering the desired areas, and use that to provide the raster mask.

Well that was a very good idea that trick that I didn’t know either. This way I avoid moving the modules that share masks.
If someone wants to see how it would look with the raster mask:

Thanks again kofa.

EDIT: Please note, I can testify that the sphere floating in the sky over the cupola of the basilica is not a Chinese spy balloon.

Another lovely image 
I tried to be fairly realistic this time, albeit still with a hint of film-inspired colors and contrast. I also removed the un-chinese balloon

And you managed to be realistic, much more than me. Thanks.
