For Alamy, would you clone out wire or not ?

Advertisers love Animals, so this shot might stand a chance on Alamy, especially with the space to tthe right for text ....... but should I clone out the wire ?

Is there any doubt? Of course!

Yep, what he said!

Clone out I think

Yes clone it out; but you have to be good at it because Alamy will reject for noticeable retouching.

Take it out, the background is out of focus, so shouldn't be too tricky, if you're careful on the neck.

Noooo..... you'd miss out on the album sleeve for Bird on a Wire.

OMG - showing my age again.

Why don't you do a cloned-out version + compare the two ... might actually look better with the wire in

Might sound silly, but I think it adds to the humour

But let's see it with the wire cloned out (it's your pic, you do it

) It'll give you a practise run too, to see if you can do it seamlessly, 'cos if you get found out, it won't make a damn bit of difference to sales whether you cloned it out or not

Knew that Alamy didn't allow altering of shots but what they won't know won't hurt them - and only a 10 minute job!
