George and the Jasmine

This is George, checking to see if any birds are feeding off our jasmine.

Cropped like this, it looks like the missing ear tip is an accident.
I'd suggest either a closer crop, or get all of that ear in.

I'm usually the first one to say something about stuff running off frame and the ear is bit of a problem but it is otherwise such a nice shot that, for me, the ear is only a slight problem.
You got those eyes really good and love the bokah

incredibly good focus !

I agree about the ear, the crop suggested by SW is quite nice

Thanks Paul, Frog, and armando, I didn't think the ear was a biggie at first, but on reflection I decided you guys were right, so I built him an ear. I hope I have got the proportions right. What do you think ?

[Frog]

Works for me! Very good job building the ear.
Did you do it by increasing the canvas size and cloning?

[hminx]

That's just what I did Frog, plus a gaussian blur to the upper back ground as it was a bit rough after the ear clone.

:wearenotworthy: that is an amazing bit of reconstructive editing.

This wasn't the first attempt at this one Paul.....

This just may be my favorite all time cat photo.
