![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 1490 W: 72 N: 1427]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (4744) | Oh my God ... did you slaughter me HERE and oh my God were you right! :) I had one more picture of a Weka (a fantastic and lovely flightless bird), but again loads of things were wrong. I spent a lot of time on improving this picture. I cloned out a second bird, cloned out a tire of our campervan, adjusted levels, flipped the image horizonally, adjusted brightness and adjusted contrast. I still think this picture isn't perfect (a little light in the eyes is lacking ...), but what do you think!? Hit me with your fierce criticism. I posted the real image as a workshop, just for your covenience. ;)
