I believe that halo is from resizing in Elements. I have seen it before on jpg's resized with Elements. Can you test that?

Here's another go at it, i've reworked the original RAW file, with next to no sharpening on, and again resized in PSE 5

Try sharpening it now. Sharpen should be the last thing you do.

Definitely shoot with a higher ISO in these types of conditions. Although your shot is sharp here, it will more often than not be soft due to camera shake even with IS...unless you have very good handholding skills or a tripod/monopod. The shot is suffering a bit from heavy cropping - you could recrop less agressively as having the bird so big in the frame isn't always best.

As someone has aleardy said bird photography is VERY addictive. Keep at it and see the improving results!

Not as aggressively sharpened as on the original pic i posted, which on reflection was way too much. So. what's the conclusion regarding the haloing?:)

And thanks for the encouragement dancad, and yep, it's certainly is addictive, i just want to get out there now but it's raining cats and dogs:rolleyes:, gotta love the British weather!!:)

I don't see any haloing in the last two you posted. But sharpening should always be the last thing you do. Do any blur, color correction, light and exposure adjustments early on and sharpening will have less of chance to mess things up. :)
