First pass cloned photograph
The next stage can not really be shown all that
well.
Deselect the Lassoed area by SELECT, DESELECT
or keyboard short-cut Ctrl + D
You will now have a very discernible area of
grass where it is obvious that something has been tampered with.
The trick is to soften the edges with more cloning, but do not continuously
clone, do in in wee bits and resist the urge to drag the mouse,
this only creates repeat patterns, which makes it dead obvious that
the area has been cloned.

Finished clone
There are no sharp edges and the grass has been
blended together.
The pattern has a very slight repeat but that
can be a natural feature of the grass and at this level of zoom
can easily be accepted as natural.
