Terry-

This is a great shot thanks for sharing it!
My first thought was 'Oooh great shot, what happened to it's tail?' The cloning under the wing and on the tail looks over bright and too blue for the rest of the body - my eyes went right to it as soon as I opened the thread. I understand you want feedback on the edited image but I'm having trouble understanding what needed mending. Seeing what you are trying to correct would help, would you share the unedited original for comparison?

Here is the original along with the current iteration of processing. I'm getting PP on PP now and it will soon be time to start over. - Terry

I personally like the original better (but thats just me). The other is nice too but looks a bit unnatural for my taste.
