Can you improve this?

Yesterday Tim and I popped down to Stoney for the Diver splash-in contest. Tim didn't have his camera and I don't have any skill so we were there for fun rather than to compete. But I took a few shots and I think this was the best of them.



Okay, it's not perfect (the diver is a bit overweight for a start!) but I think it's got some atmosphere.

The thing that is annoying me is the bit of leaf floating in the sun rays in front of Tim. Can anyone get rid of that for me? And any other suggstions?

Hi Mark,
Which software are you using?
The Spot Healing tool in PS should do the trick.
I will have a go.

Cheers,
Paul.

Looks grand! I don't have Photoshop but I do have a Presto program that does a bit of airbrushing.

This was my effort but I don't think it's quite as seamless as yours.






As well as that there is something about the stream of bubbles that seems to jar a bit. Do you think I should take some out?
