Fugl, thanks for the comments. I can't see the pale border you mention, on this or the original. Perhaps my aged eyes!Phil
I think it's a tad overexposed. Also if it were me, I would have done a landscape style crop instead of a portrait one.
The sun's not in the best position, so you're getting the contrasting highlights and shadows, but there's not much you can really do about this.
Overall though a very nice shot.
I can't see these outlines or halos at all on my screen, which is begginning to worry me a little. I've probably got lots of these halos in my shots and I don't know it!
Well, maybe I’m a little over-sensitive to such things, though my eyes are pretty “aged” too. The “halo” is certainly not very pronouced & since nobody else appears to even see it my comment can probably be disregarded.
Here is a landscape crop and exposure taken back a touch.

Hello Phil,
In Photoshop CS3 there is a feature called 'Shadow/Highlight' under 'Image' - 'Adjustments'. It can be very effective in bringing out the hidden details from a too dark/too light image.
With your image (which had all the detail there) I was able to add some balance between the background and foreground exposure.
Regards
This one works well for me Phil nicely changed :t:
