Thank you Karl, Yes it's easy to remove the halo in pp. But like everything individuals will like or dislike different things. I don't see it as a huge shame that you don't like the halo. it's just you like different things to me.
I wouldn't remove it as I like it and for me iT adds to a feel that i get from it. Some people will like a different crop, less or more grain, Stationary stars, a dreamy effect. etc etc. Thats all great as were not all the same.
Thank you for your opinion as it is always interesting to get a snap shot of what different people feel about something. I don't take myself or my pictures at all seriously.
Happy shooting.
