Hi Don,

Perhaps this one's been worked a little too hard. There is very little of the original texture of the photo. You're paying attention to the detail but are pressing on your "pencil" a little too hard. Try lightening up on the filter settings etc. to let more of the original through.

It seems to be heavily compressed creating those 'squares' and a little blurred. What software do you use btw? and what version? When cloning a good tip is to have the opacity set low (unless you want to copy an actual detail)

oh and feather the edges
