Quality Issues?

Examine image at 100-300% magnification. 

I see noticeable fringing and halos.

Yes, I can see the border now, on the arrows near the head and beak, thank you. But what's wrong with the meth near the third arrow? I've been looking there for a long time.

But what's wrong with the space** near the third arrow?

There's a halo around. That's probably created by your cutout. If it's not from the cutout, it's from sharpening.

The bird is not sharp, you have artefacts, the cutout that you did is not correctly done. The fake background is, let me say it like this, special.

Lol. What are you talking about? There was no cutout here, and no background overlay. Here's a screenshot of the raw file in the windows viewer. Yeah, by the way, care to explain why you wouldn't be happy with the background in the colors of the flag if it was really fake?
