Excellent job capturing him Sandy! Love Craig's edit too :) I'll have to give that 'content aware fill' a try...

Thank you Cheryl!

Lovely shots Sandy.

Craig that is very impressive removal of the feeder.

Thanks Lester!

I used to use Content Aware, but then I got lazy after I started using Lightroom. So I took 2 minutes and got rid of the dreaded feeder using Photoshop Elements 12. I'm no Craig, but I thought it came out pretty well!

Thanks Jeff. I was shocked to see that I captured that one!

Aren't you the lucky one Sandy with a male hanging around....I'm envious.
Love the body posture in #2 as he backs away from the feeder, and the turning capture is sweet too even if he is sticking his tongue out :)
My favorite is the 3rd image which I really wanted to see in portrait format, so I cropped your image without reducing it's size as shown below. More than one way to get rid of a feeder!

Nicely done Steve...I will certainly do that crop too! As for the male, he has the feeders on the front side of my house, and the female has the feeder on the back side. Hers is in the dogs pen, with a lilac bush making things a bit tricky for photos, but I'm going to try soon.

Put up the new feeders today...wasps and hornets be-gone!
