Nope..it's being scraped. Went through and it's on an original and it's EVERYWHERE!

I've never really seen that before..but I was shooting 5 mins into darkness...maybe that is the cause?

It's caused roughly by the way the different light frequencies bend inside your lens. Better lenses tend to be better at avoiding it. But even my best lenses still get it sometimes.
Sometimes it's red ... sometimes blue or various shades really.

That's Chromatic Aberation ... and it's sticking out like dogs balls here

OMG, it took me forever to see what you were talking about. I better go home and check that my dog really was neutered too!!

Now that I see it, it seems so obvious.

But Kat, none the less the is a wonderful photo. one of my favs of yours so far.

Nooooo!! Did you use RAW Kat??? This may be able to be saved prior to processing. If not ... then maybe give it to me to have a go with the full res version we see there.

It's too good to throw away.

Bambi ... leave your dog alone!!

Really nice shot Kat. You have quite an eye.

Hey..I didn't know lightroom had a correction for this! It worked except for that one big rock in the front!! I think I can handle him!!

It's HDR and I see it on two of the three exposures. They are all in raw. Can I alter those raw images before I use the photomatrix?

Yes! In LR you can adjust both the red and cyan fringing. See Kat ... a little sleep and you come back all ready to learn again
