Hi Keith,
love the bird and the eye really does put the life into the image. The piece of grass on the previous posting didn't bother me but I can easily see where it has been cloned out so on reflection if I were you I'd leave it in. :toast:

Much prefer this image Keith. Grass clone hasn't worked too well like Robert said.

Grass clone is an issue...I think it should have been left in...but nevertheless its quite nice.

Great shot. Cloning is said before here.

Maybe clone a barb from somewhere else as the grass clone seems to have blurred it? I love these guys, just wish I had one on a post. Very nice.

Andy will sort your cloning out! but i would have left the grass, lovely shot :toast: :toast:

I am glad to see one without the grass stem, but agree that a little more work on cloning technique is needed

A much better pose. I'd leave the grass in.

I agree about the cloning but other than that a lovely image and a very nice pose.
