    Here is the photo. I found several flaws that needed correcting.
    This was taken Wednesday, in Shipshewana, Indiana. The horse was attached to an Amish buggy. The sky was lousy, so I colorized it a bit, cropped and cloned out the junk in the background, sharpened and resized. Any suggestions or advice is welcome.

    John,

    Great shot. I do'nt know what the original was like, but this is superb. Great colors, a wonderful DOF and a good, tight crop.

    Well done,

    Jared

    John,
    When I viewed the first shot along with your post that you've edited out junk, I couldn't even begin to imagine what was taken out because you've done such a great and subtle job at doing it.

    After you posted the original, my thoughts of your much improved cloning techniques are even stronger. Great job. It was a nice photo to begin with, but you've made it much better.

    Thanks Liban......you're one of the few who always comes back to offer encouragement and great suggestions. Outside of the 5 or 6 of you, I think I've driven everyone else off with all those lousy pictures I posted.;)
