I borrowed this picture from Jaspro (with permission) to try my hand at removing something from a picture. As I told him, I'm not saying it was a bad picture to begin w/, I just wanted to try it out. Comparing the original to the ps'ed picture all I did was crop and remove most of the fence and the overhanging limb on the right side. Since I have very little photoshop knowledge, all I used was the clone stamp tool and played w/ it till it looked okay (I know I still need a lot of practice ).

My question is.... How on earth can I remove the overhanging tree limbs on the left side while keeping the crisp natural look of the picture? Or is this something that will take much more practice on my part to get it right? I'm assuming that there is some other way than clone stamp...correct?

I would have to say you have done a pretty darn good job so far.......but I am no help with photoshop.......

unless you want to spend a lot of time on it, I suggest just a little more crop.

I went ahead and slapped a blue filter on it cause blue says "cold"

I have no idea if I helped it or not.

Just messing around.

...looking at the original image, I think I like that one best... just a little too much snow in the forground.

sometimes, less is more

Steven its funny you took it back to the blue tint as that was how the original looked until I auto adjusted the colors and exposure.

cool

(no pun)

certainly a challenging image with lots of directions
