I had posted this repost on my original thread, but it appears nobody noticed it there so I'm posting it as a new thread. You can see the original shot here. In this repost, I followed Julie's suggestions of applying a slight gaussian blur to the BG and cloning over the dark area in the ULC. What do you think?
Looks good to me. the background looks fine as does the d-fly. You do lose focus at the very tip of the body. Maybe a bit more dof but that would have messed with the bg.
