pink bits in trees

[flicker]

Whenever I take a photo of a landscape with bare (winter) trees against the sky they seem to have a pinky outline around the branches. How do I get a good 'tree against sky' shot?

It is what is know as chromatic aberration check this out for some answers http://toothwalker.org/optics/chromatic.html
Some lenses are prone to it and you have to fix it in software.

Show us some examples please.

Sounds like fringing. Shoot in RAW and fix it in PS or Lightroom.

I suppose it's more purple than pink

That looks like longitudinal CA - purple fringing - and a severe dose. Lateral CA tends to be more towards the edges of the image and usually pinkish on one side and greenish-blue on the other.

There's also a lot of flare on the linked image, bleaching away the density.

I think purple fringing is hard to get rid of in post processing.

All in all that's a pretty poor performance

Open it in Lightroom or Camera Raw, pop into HSL and move the Magenta slider down until it's gone.

Assuming the OP actually has Photoshop or Lightroom...

If you shoot in RAW (not sure if your camera supports it) - some manufacturers (such as Nikon) allow you to attempt to fix Chromatic Aberration via the provided imaging tools. I've had some limited success with this but found it mainly appears if there is high contrast between the subject and background (for example a bleached out background as in your provided image).
