Photo editing favour - Lamp post removal

[james_tigerwoods]

Can anyone please assist me with editing out a lamp post (and security camera) in a photo - I quite like it in, but it's been suggested that the photo works better with it removed.

However, I don't have photoshop or any other tool to do this (or the skills) - would someone be so kind as to possibly do this for me and I can provide a location to upload the file to if needs be.

This is the photo (colour and B&W):



And this is the RAW location (compressed and split in to a RAR archive as my host won't upload the file in full size) - http://www.jamestigerwoods.com/photos/

Thank you

JTW

Been playing with PS for a while now and I think I've nearly got the hang of it



Almost an invisible blend

I've removed it but there was a plane behind it..

Looks like the lamp was the light source.

I like what you've done there Gemm

James, sometimes it's just not possible to do that. Even Photoshop has limits and in many cases it's better to just crop the offending elements out of the image.

I have taken the liberty of cropping the image very subtly for you. I doubt an untrained eye can even tell the difference, and it has definitely maintained the spirit of your original capture:

Nah only kidding .

It is possible to clean that image right up. Here it is with all the distractions removed:

Thanks - and I knew an Ambiwlans was going to appear sooner or later

This is the other photo which is better this way around - I'm preferring the lamp in. And the windows too



And I've just noticed that the lens/sensor needs cleaning. Dammit....
