I had another look at the remake I submitted yesterday. And, now I am embarrassed by my lack of judgement. It is not total crap, but it sure is very muddy looking. Ok, it is crappy. I did ruin it. Just consider it a sketch that left office by accident.
When doing the sandwich my mind was in single track mode. I was obsessed by getting the puzzle bits together, so I kind of forgot to look at general "picture". Besides being muddy, it also had a big dust spot. I saw that, but simply forgot to do something about it. Not an unforgivable sin, but I'm not proud of that either. The worst thing is that I can't claim to have been drinking and photoshopping. Go on, laugh and make jokes on my expense, but if you do, you also have to give me a warm "we all do mistakes" hug. (I really don't expect any of those hugs, I know you are evil people and will do whatever you can to rub it in ;-)) When you are done, I will have another go at the motif, waiting for the right moment, trying to get it right "in camera" (if the bird is still there).
