 Original
The toilet block has simply been cropped away and some of the shed/fence and much of the foreground has too. Flowers have been selected, copied and pasted (before cropping) to cover the rest of the fence.
Wires have been cloned out. Heaps of wires, lots more of them than you could see at the size of these.
The trick to cloning where there are sharp edges of buildings to preserve, is to keep the cloning button down while you move from sample area to area you want to place it, so that the crosshairs can help keep lines straight; follow the edge angles. The wires also crossed trees, so there you pick up suitable bits of foliage and or sky, and make the tree look believable. Don't reuse the same samples on organic things because patterns emerge. Changing cloning brush size and hardness helps. For sharp edges you need a hard brush, but within foliage areas, grass, sky etc. softer brushes are often better and sometimes lower opacity is too. The original of this had a sign in front of the right hand window and I selected and copied a rose which was going to be destroyed by fixing the window, then pasted it back in after the window was right.
This is the rose, but I had to select just the rose and its buds and stem out of this bit.
I added poster edges as a final step to give a little definition to the image. |
