Did you shoot in raw or jpg?
If jpg your camera setting could cause the white ring (camera sharpening)
What type of sharpening did you use when editing? and did you change the mode during sharpening.

I find that sharpening the following way helps out moon shots

Full size image:
18/40/0 (darken)
150/.03/0 (darken)
150/.03/0 (darken) 50% Occupancy

After resizing for web
150/.03/0 (darken if necessary if not, normal)

Note: This is in Raw format. If taken in jpg then the sharpening would be less but I would still use the darken mode to drop the bright edges that occur during sharpening.

I like the colored version better. Mainly because the color adds more interest because IMO your photo is cropped to tight. It feels boxed in without having more of the landscape surrounding the waterfall and rocks to give a better perspective. With that said the texture [moss] and leaves on the rocks adds a nice touch along with the flowing water.

Hope this helps

Very nice shot. Again I think the focus is a little off. Seems to be more on the back of the wing. I don't know what f# your using but it may need to be closed down a stop or two. Still a good shot and nice B&W conversion.

Nice DOF however I wish you could of had a large DOF to cover the finch's feet keeping them in focus along with the head. Other than that great shot.
