2 Part Question... What are your thoughts?

[jowensphoto]

I attempted to edit the non-cloned photo in PS... and remembered how much I hate/suck at cloning. Honestly, nothing about that area would have stand out (to me) if it wasn't so bright. The brightness is what caught my attention first. Then the model, she's lovely!

One thing I do sometimes when I have a relatively large area to fill is cut a suitable section out with the lasso, paste it in and then clone to hide the edges. Sometimes if you use 2 or 3 pasted sections it disguises the fact that it's a stolen segment. You can also paste another bit on top and play with the opacity. I find this allows me be be more creative instead of struggling with the standard cloning problems in large areas. If I have other (reject) photos taken at the same time and lighting conditions I'll sometimes use them for the material.

Yeah I actually trashed the version I posted here and tried again last night using that method. I've done that before. It was CLOSER, but still not perfect. Ugh.

I'm gonna try again now that I'm not attempting it at 2:30 in the morning.

First impression was, not bad, but that behind her on the right was a little bright. Nothing major.

As I looked more at it, I see one lone bright leaf that is just to our left of her right hand. It has an eerie feel to it on that side just behind her. It's like there is one of the camo'd persons hidden in the foilage right behind her right hand.

The cloning job.

It is if it's not good enough.

And it's not.

Here's my (quick) take:



I cut a section of the right foreground, pasted it over, stretched it to fit (including covering the distracting light area), erased where it intruded onto the model's arm, cloned out the flowers and applied a gaussian blur to match the rest of the DOF area and flattened. Then I cut out part of the plantain(?) @ front left, pasted it in just below the line where the DOF blur appears to start and overlapping the blurred area. It seems to work pretty well for a quickie.

Her left leg is twisted inward? Look at her left knee...

 

[jwbryson1]

I'm gonna be up all night working on this damn street.

Said the hooker to the cop....:smileys:

Just saw this now -didn't read other posts. Looks like she has to pee!

 

[sashbar]

My first impression was "she wants to pee". My second was "missing finger on her left hand".

 

[frommrstomommy]

What was so appealing in the first place? Lol. Multiple people have pointed out the classic peepee dance stance and I am having trouble seeing why out of all that greenery you had her stand there.. with the twotone uneven foliage and concrete issue.
