Two and then One

[Stan]

I have not put this in Nature as clearly it is a manipulated image.

I got this shot at Slimbridge with two long tailed tits on the same branch



This would have been a very nice shot with the branch providing the frame, had both birds been looking my way. I got 4 frames and they were all the same, so as an exercise, using content aware fill, followed by cloning to tidy up, I removed the offending bird

Nicely done Stan but might I suggest moving the tail down as it looks if it is from its back, although I assume it's the other birds tail

well spotted Alan. I had thought it was the birds tail so I left it but you are right - the other tail seems to be in a very strange position, bending back on itself. Will have to have another look and see if just moving the tail looks "natural"

Good skills again, perhaps call it the not so long tailed tit

Re: Two and then One

I think the visible tail was from the cloned out bird. The other must have been stuck out behind where it's hidden. The end result is good though, and had I not seen the first image I wouldn't have picked it up.
