Untitled

To any and all photoshop wizards out there... what could I do to get

rid of the sign in the background (or is it not that distracting?)

I'd like to not spend hours cloning out individual pixels... maybe

copy some portions of the bushes, paste and move them with feathered

edges? Any help, comments, or ratings appreciated (p.s., doesn't

have to be perfect as this most likely won't make it to a gallery,

but would rather that the touch up is not noticeable either.) Thanks!

It is indeed a very nice portrait. The girl's expression is really cute. However somethings could improve it even in PS.

For my taste, the space on the left is too big since it doesn't add much to the picture.

You could try to highlight her face in PS, perhaps with the fillflash feature or levels.

I'm not an expert in photoshop, but regarding your question, I think the best way to remove that sign is to clone it out and then to smudge the imperfections. It should be difficult to get a perfect result, but this photo surely worths the try.

Regards! Alex
