Attached is a low res version of the HDRI image used.

I whacked the ambient factor up to 5 for the HDRI sphere in this image and that
probably boosted the glow around the sun, hence more white than there should be
and more blue too.  However, I'm no HDRI expert so I'm probably talking bunkum.

Can anyone offer a more reasoned response?

Skip, I can send you the scene file if you like.  With the skeleton mesh and the
image it'll be about a 1MB zip file.  That OK?
