No need to reiterate the challenge guidelines for the umpteemth time, other than describing the steps you take. Have at it!
Cropped, removed bench and tree stump by cloning, adjusted color, vibrance and contrast using PS CS6.
Hi, Michael. I cropped out the bench because to me it’s crooked and overly bright becoming a focal point which draws the eye to the colorless area of the path and sort of visually ends the scene there. I’m sorry if I removed a memorial bench or a pleasant memory. Thank you for uploading the photo.
Hey, Michael. I unexpectedly found a version of this challenge hiding out in my Windows Network Shortcuts??!!! No idea how it got there, but it's a sign that it wanted itself posted since it hung around this long. This one even keeps the bench.
