Hi Ross, love the shots of the Bridge, nice shot of the Robin but the Chaffinch is being obscured by a twig, I was thinking clone tool to remove it, but looks tricky to do.

Cheers
Cliff.

Thanks guys. I agree about the chaffinch but I'm not sure my cloning skills (or patience) are up to it!

Not perfect but an improvement, try it on the original image that hasn't been resized, you'll soon get the hang of it.

Cheers Ross

Wow Cliff - that's BRILLIANT. I never thought it could look as good as that. I just don't think I'd be able to achieve the same, but I'll give it a try when I get some time on my hands.
Thanks a million.

A nice selection Ross, youv'e certainly got an eye for an image.

Cliff.....you have far too much time on your hands I wouldn't have even thought about attempting a job like that.
PS the branch look broken

Spider you sound like my wife took about 15 mins to do quite easy with practice, but is it considered as cheating: be interesting to see what the forum members think

Yes, it is cheating and we all do it but like Spider I probably wouldn't have tried on that image.

A colleague of mine used to give his image class a picture of Avebury with lots of modern stuff in it. The assignment was to remove all the modern stuff and replace the missing standing stone. There were some pretty good versions!

Best wishes, Kris.

There's alot less scaffolding on the bridge now than when I visited last year. Don't they realise it's hard to clone out ??
Unless you're Cliff of course
