How did I do?

[Roy Priest]

The main reason I have posted this image is I had to clone out an OOF branch to the right of the bird and a branch than ran through the bottom of his breast and back. You can see where it used to be connected to the branch between the bird's feet. Just wanted to see if you think the clone job is adequate. I can post a before pic if you like.

Clone job is not bad Roy There is a little area with feathers missing Easiest way is enlarging the area before doing the work, at high magnification its easy to control !!!!

Hi Roy,
I like the capture, you have good details and s sharp eye...agree with Mr. Forns on enlarging the image in order to see your work more easily...:cool:

Roy, Great eye detail and pose! The clone work looks super except for the feathers as mentioned above.

Al, Gus, and the Cheryls :)

Thanks for the suggestions and comments. How far do you enlarge? I did enlarge a bit and found a smaller brush is better, at least for me. I am getting more comfortable with cloning, now if I could just figure out masks. I've looked at videos, books, on the net but it just seems to escape me.:(
If by feathers missing you are referring to the part closest to his right foot, that is what the original shows.

If I may jump in :D

How far do you enlarge?

As much as needed, even down to the single pixel if necessary.
