That's great to do that in post processing. The bird is super.

Since I have only free inexpensive software, occasionally I will also copy & paste things to get it to look right (when I can). That is part of the art of taking photos.

Thanks! I did the editing in Affinity Photo ($55), but clone tools are also in GIMP, which is free. I believe there are also clone tools in free raw editors such as RawTherapee, ART and darktable, but I did this after raw conversion. The nice part about cloning is it's done with a brush and can be reproduced relative to existing data so there's less chance (if done properly) of mismatches and such. Also, Affinity Photo has an "inpainting" tool, which is similar to Photoshop's content-aware fill tool.
