Lamb jumping - Clone or not?

Took this earlier this evening just as the light was fading, was a bit of a lucky catch, right place right time etc. but the fence is really off putting.






Whilst it is simple enough to crop out the fence on the right, the fence at the back is really annoying.






So decided to have a go at cloning it out which is not normally something I would do and this rough 10 minute job is what I ended up with.




Would be interested in any thoughts you might have. Good Job? Bad job? Right idea? Leave the fence in? Anything else?

I do not condone cloning Lambs, whether they be sleeping, standing, running or jumping.
If that lamb is a clone, I cannot tell...

photoshop job doesn't look bad at all.... a little rough around the back of the neck and tip of ear, but otherwise well done.

Thanks Don, is a work in progress so will try and improve on that.

BTW no Photoshop, just the clone tool in Aperture 3!

Since you cropped it the lamb seems too tight against the frame to me.

The rear fence isn't half annoying as the small bit of cord below the lamb and I would prob clone out the blue numbers.

I also think the crop is too tight..I would try and clone the fence to the right,, Good job though...

You left out the mint sauce bottle. CHEERS Vic.

Cropping has chopped off the lambs tail, so cloning is probably the better option. Those blue numbers need to go, too.....

The farmer most likely "cropped" the tail when the lamb was born which is what they do. (See the first pic). The small black thread below is most likely the remains of the umbilical cord. All very natural as nature intended. The numbers are all part of the scene as it happened on the day. OK getting rid of the fences was good but for me as it happened on the day is how I like it. Well caught in mid air. CHEERS Vic.
