Weird, thought it was going to be the PDAF points due to bumping the exposure up in post but the original has it too. I'm assuming you're not shooting through fencing?
^^ this, may be worth trying in a different software, although if the other photos are fine I’m not sure why PS would do this to one specific photo.Would you be willing to post the original unedited RAW to a place someone could download it and try editing it in other software?
