    Re: Before and after a little Sapsucker

    I like what you did.. it looks very natural and is definitely nice work... But I like the stump .. and I like the original better I think.

    Such an awesome image either way though. Nice work

    Not bad at all. The right edge is a bit soft though, seems to be doubled-up or "ghosty" in places. A hard edged eraser brush might help that. Also, there is an artifact that repeats three times as the tree extends upwards - that is a cloning artifact and should be removed.

    Great shot of the sapsucker, what a gorgeous bird.

    Yes i can see the cloning remains as Erik points out but this is a mistake i have made in the past, but its easily recitified, but i like what you were trying to achieve Knight.
