I believe there's a branch / trunk between the camera and the subject up there. So the transition from that OOF element to the cat looks odd at first. Took me a minute to figure out what was going on.
This is correct. There's no touchups. It's an oof tree limb/branch
Two more images from Bali - Cockfighting is a deeply rooted tradition in Bali. Yes, it is done for entertainment and but it also carries some religious overtones. Typically, cockfighting is done on temple ground and the cocks were bathed and blessed. However, for this particular session, they did it in a playful way and strictly for photography; that is without any blades. I relied on the AF lock on mode of the A7s to capture the fight that lasted only approximately a minute per round. It was still pretty early in the morning and the natural sun provided some backlighting on the scene.
These are 2 images taken this evening just after sunset with my tripod mounted A7r and my Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens in Orefield, PA. Images shot at f8 and 1/60 second at ISO100 and processed in LR5.7.1.
