Default Processed with LR for the Topaz Adjust look

I processed this file with Photoshop originally using the patch tool to remove a stray foot that was in the background that I couldnt crop out without cropping some of her head. I then applied some Scott Kelby recommended settings for that Topaz Adjust/Lucis Pro look. I also have a B&W version on my Flickr site which was applied using Silver Efex Pro.

Looking for critique on my patch work to remove the leg/foot and overall how the new effects look.

Not bad. I think to get the Lucis/TopazAdjust look you need more conrast though. Topaz is typically high contrast, low saturation.

Best,

You have done a great job! I like the color adjustment too. Just that i noticed a little bit of perspective problem in the patch area..i think it might be better to use the grass of the same distance from the camera as the area you want to patch. (To make it easier to understand i have edited your original photo..hope you don't mind. ) In this case the sample of grass from B would be better than A. Although i have not edited it nicely that's just to give you a rough idea. Overall your photo is already very nice

Great photo I agree with the Jun Xiang Goh on Cloning issue... I can definitely see a repeating clone in the top middle of your processed photo where the feet were removed

I hadn't noted any issue with the cloning until I read other comments. It'll help me keep a closer eye on my own work in those few instances where I have part of an object that has to go.

But regardless of that minor issue, I think you did a very good job. I wasn't familiar with the Topaz Adjust etc., look, but it's certainly an interesting edit. I like what you've done.
