Reflection in Sunglasses

[Retrophonica]

Hi Everyone

I have been tinkering with a photo that I took of my daughter - It was a quick snap with an iPhone as it was a blink and miss it moment
I've been trying to play with the reflection, as you can see me in the reflection taking the pic. anything that I do looks really fake and obvious. The lens on the glasses is graduated so you can't black out either.

Can anyone suggest my best option

It's only a pic for fun but appreciate any help

Thanks
Andy

Have you tried just Clone Stamping yourselves out of the reflection?

That's a good picture Andy! - Although simple I like the composition (I probably like it because it is simple).

Cheers

Hi Sam

i tried a few things but it was getting that gradient to look right that I just couldn't get. I'll give it another go.

thanks John for the feedback. It was just one of those moments. I took 3 and the others just didn't say the same as this one

and then I just wanted to make it into something.

cheers

Wow Sam that looks reallly good ... was that just with the clone stamp?

I played around with a gradient but decided that it wasn't looking natural. I would have to consider a new highlight.

Yes, Clone Stamp Tool only and about 2 minutes.
