Do I notice a cloning repeat?

Shot number 3, between the Meerkat's left ear, close to the top of the ragged log end.

they were the only animals co operating, the leopards, and apes were asleep inside and the cheetahs were up against the fence

Oops - there were a couple of bright highlights in that area which needed cloning and looks like i used too big a brush - sorted

Thanks Stephen

The enclosure at Marwell is quite new, large and raised a bit above ground level and divided into 2 pits. They are usually in the lower one which although you can get good shots of the meerkats the backgrounds are rubbish, so we were lucky that they were in the upper one yesterday which were against a much better backfrop
