Made this image at Kokrazhar , Assam, India
Big quarrel was going on and this mother kept showing teeths from quite a distance
Is there any way to remove that front twig without disturbing image.
Taken with D300/ 600MM VRII/ 1/250secs/ F4/ no Flash/ ISO 320
Hi Harshad, you have a good base image here. Exposure is good, might sharpen around the face, especially the eyes. Probably would have have been hard to do, but maybe more details in the baby's face too. You can remove the twig with some PS work. You have captured a mean expression on the mother's face though and for that I think it is well done.
Yes there is a way or actually several to remove the twig The one I would try first is quick mask, you basically mask an area and move it into anther to fill The procedure seems complicated at first but once you try it a few time becomes second nature. Artie has a CD with the steps Might want to look into it.
The one part that will be difficult is around the top of the head. Masking would be a way but what will make it difficult is tone similarity I use Mask Pro 4.1 but it depends on colors for selections so won't be easy !!!
An easier fix is the patch tool and clone stamp in PS Carefully you can get there !!! btw if you have anyone in your are with PS skills that you can actually watch work makes a difference !!!!
btw an alternative crop for that image is going tight on the face sine its the most compelling part of the image Love it either way !!! Neat !!!
I was thinking of a different crop and will post below .... but like yours better !!! Neat crop might only take some from the left !!! Not sure if you had the focal length to do in camera !!!
btw with the baby more visible would have been just perfect !!!
harshad, that is one fierce looking animal!! i like the original version. the twigs are noticeable but not that bad. does seem like it would be a tough fix. i'd just clone out the fur in the upper right corner.
