Opinion on cloning requested.

Hello all,
Please review the two photos posted. I normally post in the Bird gallery section, but I worked on this for quite a while with varying opacity and "flow" levels, trying to make this as seamless as possible. I tried to take out the distracting highlights on the right hand side of the frame. Please let me know your thoughts.

To my undiscerning eye, it looks like you did fine.

Thanks...
After looking at it so long, it's hard to be objective.

Looks good to me. Don't see anything with the second that didn't look natural.
Even after looking at the first.
Very nicely photograph.

He said it and I agree.

Thank you Richard...
I was hoping that would be the case.

Thank you Frank.

Looks good to me as well. Great job.

Thank you

Very nice work, Jamey!

Folks who don't do this type of cloning may be surprised at just how difficult and tedious it can be to get it to look just right.

Thank you Tom. This was actually my third attempt. I was beginning to get frustrated with it, but tried one last time. After about half way through, I realized it was actually working out. Thanks again.
