How would you clean these up?

Or would you just say the heck with it, it's not worth it.

I spent an hour in the blind this afternoon, at a "new" friend's house and about 4:15, a cardinal finally shows up. Unfortunately, the litle **** wouldn't get off the ground. It doesn't make for a very nice looking photo. Cloning would be such a chore, but is there any other way? Any suggestions, besides going back to the blind?

They look good to me - shows the bird in a natural (?) setting. The only thought I would have if you really have to clean it up, is to take the bird from the picture and put it in something else - if this is at all possible(?).

Cheers,

What are you thinking of cloning out? I'm not a fan of whole-scale cloning/altering. I say go back and reshoot. Better to spend the time out there instead of in front of a computer.
