Maybe too tame an edit.

I guess I can’t bring in essential improving ideas:

@carstenmann Nice image. For a second there, I thought: baloney slices. :roll_eyes::rofl:

@Jetze @Popanz J’s crop with a little more headroom and P’s border would have been my choice.

I have never managed to get a decent pic of a wagtail. They are always on the ground and never let me get close enough :smiley: Nice pic

Among friends. lol

Was going to do a where’s the birdy (Waldo) but it was easier to keep the extra birds than to get rid of them. lol

@lylejk Good concept, but not convinced this time.

  1. It may be because it is not seamless and odd in some places.
  2. If you could edit out the top bird, that would also help with the immersion.

Yeah; tough to fill. Maybe I should have used a bot. lol

:slight_smile:

OK; below’s the straight image retouch; the background needs a new one but just left it be on my original edit (before I tried to fill it with the tiles). :slight_smile:

You’ll always have to do double work…
First make ‘normal edit’ and then some mathematical puzzle to lay…
Fun!

It’s what I do, Jetze. lol

Of course, this time, I didn’t use any math; just shift erase clone/heal. lol

Brutal and sloppy, I admit. Better at using filters. :slight_smile:
