Beginner Can you tell how I healed this photo ?

[Crotal Bell]

So something needed taking out, can you tell what I healed? Or how?

Hmmm.

Was he originally wearing a kiss me quick hat?

The tail feather looks crooked.

Ha ha nice thought, but no

Noe, nothing to do with the tail feather, that's all natural. Higher up.

Chimney?

Chimney?

Ha ha no, it's a blemish mask on the bird

Was there a cancelled easyJet flight in the background?

 

[Raincloud]

You gave him ibuprofen?

Ok thanks for playing folks.
The sunlight caused a bright area on the birds eye, it looked like it had a tiny white eye.
The eye of the bird in the picture is a copied circle of the beak, overlaid to remove the glint from the sun.

Would never have guessed.

The 'dead' eye was the first thing I noticed. I imagined it to have lost one as this is not uncommon.

Show us the original - the catchlight in the eye is normally what 'makes' the picture.

And I thought it was something to do with the right wing, looks blue with no detail, just shows how far off the mark I was

Here you go Trevor, a different attempt at the healing for your critique, plus the original with the sun glint.

That's much better Keith - well done. If you add just a tiny white dot in the middle, it will make all the difference.

Cheers Trevor, that was a clone-over from the rear neck hair which was a much more realistic eye.
