Merging 3 pictures of a picture that had glass
Hey,

My father got me the book and I think its pretty cool.
Anyway...

I went on an ovenight with my school, and we staye by a boy scout place. I saw this really cool drawing of a bald eagle so I took 3 pictures of it. Unfortanetly the glass reflected light every time, but in different places. I have tried to do it on my own but I can't get it right so im just posting the originals.

What I have tried and please tell me what else I was supposed to do is:
Perspective
Isolating the picture from backround
Color correction
and Photomerge although i think that is really meant for really wide pictures that you want to put together to get a landscape.

What I want as my result is a picture that is straight, with the right colors, and no light flashing off.

This is a very quick attempt.

Basically, I used the clone stamp and healing brush for most of it. Using a polygonal lasso ot prevent the edges being lost.

I then used the polyganal lasso to make an outline around the image and used free transform to straighten it out.

For future reference, if you post images, could you make the dimensions smaller - I have quite a high resolution screen and they spill quite a way off the screen, so people with lower resolution will be scrolling back and forth to view them.

Here's my attempt

I used a little known method for straightening images such as this and used the Crop Tool with Perspective ticked in the Options Bar. By setting the crop tool to perspective mode I was able to move the handles of the crop rectangle independently and put each corresponding handle at each corner of the skewed image, then when I was satisfied hit the Enter key and it automatically pulls the image straight and great tip for straightening any skewed rectangle.

I then used the Healing Brush that was sampling from one of your other images where the detail in the nest was unaffected by the lights and healed this image directly from that one.

Then it was a matter of Colour Balance and Levels, and a bit of cloning out of the ceiling reflection.
