The Cat and the Fish

Original

I've always liked this picture I took on a fishing trip years ago. A visiting kitty was quite intrigued by the fish head.

I thought I'd see if I could improve on the photo a little.

I started by using the clone brush to get rid of the box.

The cat's ears now blend into the background instead of standing out the way they did before. I suppose I should have tried to do something about that.

Blur/sharpen

To try to keep the foil from being such a distraction, I made a quick point-to-point selection around that area and applied blur. While I was at it, I inverted the selection and applied sharpen.

There were some rather sharp areas introduced by the sharpen (I didn't do such a great job selecting the area). I used the soften retouch tool to finish up the job.
