my PP skills are not very good. so i tried to figure out how to clone out stuff. there was a large branch to the left of the bird. i thought it turned out pretty good for my first attempt.

in this shot on the dike under the two birds was a stop sign that was disctracting. so i tried to remove it also. didnt turn out quite as good.

Two very nice images Mark,

Not seeing the originals, your cloning work seems pretty good to me, tho I'd probably remove the twig in the lower left on the Shrike shot also... perhaps by cropping. It works fine as a 10x8 I think.
Some noise reduction on the backgrounds could make them even nicer.

Real good shots both,

Kenn

Mark not bad cloning attempts. It definitely gets easier with practice.
