Cloning in Photoshop

[RebeccaSnell]

Did not know where to post this, so this topic looked good enough. Sissy, I loved your Texas sky shot, but the lens flare bugged me -- so I pulled it into Photoshop, lightened it just a touch and cloned out the lens flares - what do you think?

Here is your original photo:



And, here it is with the lens flare cloned out:


Do you have Photoshop by chance?  If you do, the clone tool is very simple yet so fun.  I know some are 'photo journalist purists', but I think you can do a little cloning when you are creating 'art'. 

Take care,
Rebecca

True!   

Sissy replaced the original photo with the "improved" image, so Rebecca's link now goes to the "new" image.  I'll repost the original and update the post so that people can see the difference.
