Northern Cardinal
I liked that I caught a sharp image of this male northern cardinal singing his heart out, but there were a lot of distracting branches around his head and a distracting branch in front of the branch he’s perched on. This is the result of painting out those branches and doing a clone stamp to fill in the space where the foreground branch was located. Better or too much editing?

Nicely done!
Thank you. I need a little more practice with the clone stamp to eliminate the fuzziness in the branch, but I still like it better than the unedited version.
Both nice, I like the branches, but what do i know?
