Stellars Jay

Nice image, especially given the lighting. You need to do your cloning on a separate layer so you can mask out stuff later. here you have cloned over the tip of the bill. Oh, one last thing, it's a "Steller's Jay", not Stellars

= Ed =

Thanks for the tip Ed. Normally I do not alter the image as taken, this is only the second time I have tried to clone out details. I'll use a mask if and when I retouch the file image.
The one here was a clone out using the web quality image ... taking all of about a minute or so.

And thanks for the name correction, my Sibleys is still packed. I unpacked the cameras and computers first and will be working on my books next.

excellent shot. thanks for sharing

Beautiful captures Dave showing nice colour and detail, the last shot looks very good, well done.
