    Removing that stick would help too! ;-)....much easier than cloning it out!
    Adam

    lol..i would of gone over the rest of the falls if i had tried to move the stick.i was right on the edge of the water and it was very slippery where we were..lol. it was discussed, and i am only new to cloning, and hadnt thought of it at the time, might have a play with it and see how it would of looked. thanks again adam.:)) k
