Photoshop edit

Didnt like the tree branch sticking out of her leg: does the edit look ok?

Nicely done....I would rotate it to the right a bit to straighten, reduce saturation a bit and use a dodge tool to bring out her face a bit more.

I think it's a good edit, the blues are overdone in my opinion

The edit is a bit obvious. It is apparent that you cloned the same tree twice. When doing this it is better to pull the clone elements, assuming you can keep it looking natural, from more than one area. Also if you create a second layer, you can do the cloning there and then use the erase tool at varying percentages to make the retouching blend better.

Thank you; that is exactally the kind of feedback I was hoping for

I would also suggest opening up the shadows a bit after toning down the saturation, which looks quite heavy to me.

It does look a bit dark and saturated. I think the pose is a little awkward too.

It's a decent job of cloning. Someone other than those on this forum would probably not be able to see it. Compostion and exposure hosever are a different story. it took me a minute to realize that's she's more-than-likely a gymnist. As already stated her face is too dark and the perspective is off fo rme. I would have prefered the shot straight on...but it appears to be from a angle. Also, I think getting up higher would be benfeicial as well.
