Actually Ben that's not right. I didn't cut it out at all. If you look closely at the 1st shot (straight out of camera) you can see that white glow you talk about before I PP'ed the image. Not sure what that is actually. Hadn't even noticed it until you mentioned it. Some sort chromatic aberration perhaps?

So unless there's another reason to say it was badly done ... take that back or I'm getting my 10 day old mullet out
