Thanks, P.J.
I noticed the halo almost immediately after I'd sent the link. (Funny
how that seems to happen just about every time I post a link to the
list.) There's something magical about the process of sending links to
my photos that reveals heretofore unseen flaws to me.
The worst part is that, at least in my hands, any attempt to fix the
flaw that suddenly reveals itself is damn near guaranteed to ruin the
entire image. So, this sort of hearkens back to the question about what
to keep and what to trash: this being a shot that I stick back in the
pile for a little while longer, until I've learned enough to fix it
without destroying the whole thing.
So, for now, it's a keeper, but not yet a showpiece.

There's still a bit of halo around the bird, and focus seems to be on
the far wing. Still in all it's a very nice attempt.

capture of a bird I ever took. This is the one that got me hooked on
it, and what made me immediately fall in love with my K-x. It
remains one of my favorites among all the photos I've taken.

Unfortunately, when I resized it it stripped all the XIF data out,
but fortunately (thanks to Picasa) I still have the original file.
Comments, critiques, and hagiographic commentary are, of course,
welcome.
