hey, that turned out nicely! it's interesting that you talk about not keeping pictures because of some technical aspect (in this case, fringing, but often things like wierd shadows, lighting, etc.). I often find some photos you think might be crappy can be fixed. Sadly, I'm retarded when it comes to enhancing my photos, so love reading your tips.

Well done!

The main technical reason that I will discard an image is lack of sharp focus. Sharpening will only go so far if the focus isn't correct, and I play with shallow depth of field so often that I'm quite picky about where the focus ends up. Camera shake is another major culprit.

Things like this I can fix, it's more a matter of whether or not I want to. I usually take a series of shots of any given scene, which makes it likely that one image will avoid the pitfalls of another. In this case, I was on a roll, getting a series of images ready quickly, and I didn't want to break my stride to troubleshoot an odd situation. I'm glad I came back to it.
