Feeding the pigeons

Good job Ciaran, I think it was worth the effort. However if my experience is anything to go by, I would guess that it only stands up to web display scrutiny? Anytime I have tried printing something like this, the cloned areas stand out like a sore thumb, so I would be interested to hear your own experiences.

The full sized one looks pretty good, but it’s yet to be printed ;) I’ll let you know what it looks like when I eventually get round to printing it.
Great image Ciaran, love that flurry of wings.
Well composed and your conversion as usual is stunning.
Nice job too on removing the cherry picker.
Though it might make an interesting challenge to see
if there are any other photoshop wizards
out there who might make a stab at its removal.Rob.
Fantastic shot Ciaran. Street Photography and in particular this shot is all about the moment and I think it would be silly to dismiss a great shot like this because of something caught in the frame.
Impressive PS work Ciaran.
You should have screenshot the process for a tutorial.What a mixture of activity and serenity in one shot. well seen sir. There are many variations (crop ways) that would work with this I’m sure.
Nicely done

It had to be me that says it,
but I just don’t see it-At least now I’m just a tiny lone plaintive little voice,
but I just can’t stop myself.The other shot you presented recently,
in the rain,
that got hardly any replies,
is much better.In my isolated opinion.
IMIO,
I suppose,j

Well I like this one, but not that much either :) I much prefer my other rain shot too. I think when shots get positive critique at the start the momentum can sometimes build. Don’t get me wrong, I like this shot and am appreciative of all the comments, but in my not so isolated opinion I don’t think it’s as good as the other.
Thanks for being so understanding-
Lets hope i haven’t killed this thread too-j
imho this kind of photoshop work is completely contrary to what street and documentry photography is about.
I’d rather see the hoist than look at a scene that never existed

For me, I don’t think street photography is necessarily about capturing the truth. It’s no different than shooting a model in the studio, it’s about trying to capture a pleasing image and if that means a bit of dodging/burning/cloning/sharpening to improve a shot, then I have no problems with it. It’s akin to cloning out a spot. Documentary is different, because documentary passes itself off as fact, it’s there to provide a definitive account of a scene/story so altering the shot in any significant way certainly should certainly be avoided. Just my take on it.

I don’t think this creates a shot that has never existed at all. I think the hoist was a distraction to the focal point
of the shot. The man feeding the birds was the focus and removing the hoist was just allowing the viewer focus more clearly on that subject.Personally I felt the image was strong enough to overcome the hoist. I can see Ciarans reasons for removing it although it wasn’t necessary IMHO.
Also I think the point of this forum is not only to show an image but also show what can be done with an image.
This was a great example of how some time, effort and skill in PS can change a shot.
