				Hi all,
 
 
I found a site that does photo manipulation contests and I thought I would give it a go.  The contest details (for this round) are that you have to try and incorporate playing card shape/s into an image eg spade, heart, diamond or clubs.
 
 
The first image is the original photo I took a while ago.  The second is my modified version incorporating clubs.  Love to know your thoughts etc.

				Very nice work.  Care to comment a bit about the techniques you used?
 
 
There seems to be a rather obvious vertical line in the cloning work in the upper left, however.  Also, in the upper centre, there are three leaves that are a bit too obviously the same leaf.  Would it be possible to flip one horizontally, at least, to conceal the cloning a bit?  |

				thanks all,
 
 
Now I look at it there is a few areas that need amending.....I can see 2 cloned areas that need some blending and your right about the leaves, they would have looked alot better if I modified them to look original.
 
 
Thanks for the comments.
