Description
...this is a picture I could not have posted without a bit of very special cloning help from my wife:)
...There was a sign standing in front of the wing in the foreground partially obliterating the red cirle (Rising Sun) national marking of Japan. I could remove the sign but could not digitally "paint back" the way the light shines and the way the red circle dimly shows in perspective.
...I finally turned it over to the Photoshop pro in the family (Tara) who reworked the underside of the wing at 400%, bit by bit, with lots of patience until quite by magic (IMHO), this end result took place. I then transferred the wing by copy/paste and my year-long problem was solved.
...So, who's George?
...The Japanese designation for this World War II fighter was Kawanishi N1K2-Ja Shiden Kai...the allies simply called it "George"...
Here's a George fact sheet for those who want to know more.

Cool dedication!!!
She did a fantastic job, I know this isn't the easiest thing to do, and she did it very well indeed! Great capture, and don't you wish the people who placed signs realized the problems they cause to us photographers?
Excellent work both of you. Beautiful result :-)
nicely done and Happy New Year
Well, well, well - thank you for this bit of information. I will be sure to leave some work in Seattle when I visit!!! LOL... Wonderful work Tara and a great shot Bill! The light was perfect!
AMAZING work!!
Great work! thankyou so much.
I hope she didn't charge you too much for the work Bill! 20 MPH faster than the Zero, and I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of it. Thanks for enlightening me mate!
Nice work But where's the prop blur Bill? Lol.
Great image Hugs Susan~
Fantastic image, Bill! Cool looking plane! Tara did you right on this
A great collaboration - I was expecting a parrot or doggy, given the title in the mail! Clive
Great lighting in this beautiful capture and it was great that Tara could help out.
fabulous work!!
Tara does rock when it comes to Photoshop!! This is a great foto with the light and detail, how cool that she was able to fix it SO well!!
Great collaboration for a beautiful work !Fantastic image and lighting !
Superb lighting effects in this rendition of "George," Bill.
Nice work on this Tara, well captured Bill see team work lol..
I'm glad it worked out! I love this plane against the totally black background. At first glance it appears to be flying. At second glance ... landing gear, no pilot ... and it's a museum piece. But just for a minute, even though I knew better, I would have sworn it was airborne.
this is wonderful
Well, this is an excellent example of collaboartive teamwork if I ever saw one! Beautiful photo, Bill, and excellent Photoshop work, Tara! You two are quite the team! :-D
reminds me of a world far behind us.. great work here the teamwork was fantastic
Wonderful, I could do with Tara's help :o)
Fantastic results and a wonderful "team" effort. Dana
I'll bet that this is the one I thought was a Ki-84 "Frank" in the B-29 photo. Looks great and Tara did a fine job photoshopping!
Great corporate job on the image!!!
