Edited Great tit shot (1 Viewer)

Just my opinion but i cant help feeling like that much editing is cheating a bit.

By the way i do think it would look better without the twig but thats all the more reason to enjoy getting out again and try and get an even better shot.
 
Hi Adam
yes I agree to a Pont but when you crop, and filter, adjust white balance, taking something out is different to adding something to a shot that was not there in the 1st place I would call that photo manipulation sum would call it art depending on the sort of photo, but I do appreciate your opinion

I like symmetry ;)

Seriously though, I share Adam W's viewpoint.

i don't consider cloning "cheating" but i agree that paying more attention to composition in the first place would negate the need to clone.
Simply shifting position a bit before shooting might give you a cleaner shot, something to consider in the future.
