That is some hardcore cloning, and seamlessly done. Great job - I wish I had your patience!

Yikes! Thats a LOT of cloning! Very well done! I hadn't even noticed the shadows you added back in until I read the other comments. Very good attention to detail (and patience!)

Good work in opening your daughter's eyes (she's gonna love this shot) and making them the focal point of the photo. This is going to be a fun month!!

greetings from the critique club!
what a fantastic camera collection! i love the variety you show here, from the old to the new. maybe its just my screen, but the image apears quite red, which is a bit of a distraction. i dont like how there isn't a central focus point. perhaps cropping it down, or just focusing on say, the bottom shelf. the three cameras and the statue would have been a good photo by itself.

First off I love that in the original shot you composed it such that you have the hot pink orchids are exposed nicely and thus they pop off the dark backdrop. When one can, starting off with a good composition really helps to lessen what work one needs to do the improve it:-) The textures of the petals pop more in this one than the original -sharpening? brightness/contrast?. You did a fine job in widening the shot so that in this composition the flowers are more center composed in the shot. I do like what you did with the after but I find that the original has a greater appeal because I like the way the flowers seem to be climbing up the left side; like that of a vine adorning a wall. Sometimes an off-center or off-side main subject with 'some' negative space can be appealing as well as a center composed image.

Great googly moogly! Look at the cloning job that removes all those distracting cars from the original! You did an excellent job in removing the cars from this shot. I can't figure it out sometimes I go from original to after and I swear that the richness in color tones is not the same in the after like it is in the original. Just one other suggestion now that this stone building is the main subject a boost in the brightness/contrast with a slight adjustment of clarify tool would really help to emphasize the pattern/texture of the stonework not to mention the clouds and trees.
