Beautiful shot and pose Ram. The oof branches distract and whilst not a lover of excessive cloning, there are occasions when it is appropriate. if ethics permit, they are worth considering removal.

Beautiful detail on the bird and very nice background. I agree with the comment about cloning out the foreground branches.
A great shot of this bird. I enjoy seeing different birds from around the world. I too am not a fan of cloning, and branches are a natural part of the birds environment, but I would have attempted to clone out the oof branch (lower left) because of its conflict with the tail feathers.

How about the o-o-f branch that is stabbing the bird in the heart? :)Quote:

So impossible is one of my very favorite birds. I could have done a lot better with the TIFF :) but this should show what is possible. It took me about 12 minutes. I also did some Eye Doctor work and lightened the shades from of the face and breast...Quote:

Man you are lucky here:):):) , One terrific repost by Guruji , Grab the oppurtunity by both hands and learn lot from him
TFS one beautiful image
Thank you Arthur for the Re post with the cloning . I am not too good at it . I am glad that u spent time for my photograph. Thanks a lot once again.
Most folks think Clone Stamp Tool when they see stuff like this and I do use the Clone Stamp a bit as the first step in Divide and Conquer, but the Patch Tool and Quick Masks are used to complete much of the work that I did on this image. And again, it is all in Digital Basics and each technique is written in an easy to understand recipe-like style. We send it to purchasers via e-mail. The bad news is that we are closed until 4 JAN (but folks can still place orders at any time) :)Quote:

Bryan, From Pane #7: It took me about 12 minutes. Maybe a bit more. I likely could have done a bit better as far as quality with the TIFF (but don't be sending it soon) :)
