Exercise: Alteration.

Take a photograph which contains one distinct subject occupying an area of between one-eighth and one-sixth of the total image. The aim is to successfully remove this one element, replacing it with elements from the background or foreground.
I chose to use one of the images I took at Duxford last year. It shows five planes but one is separated from the group so I have chosen to remove it from the shot.





 
Here is a screen shot of the image after I had edited it. I used the Clone Stamp tool to replace areas with adjacent areas buy selecting a background area, copying it, and then pasting it over the area that needed retouching.
 
It is not absolutely perfect but it has come out much better than I had expected. With a bit of practice I am sure I can produce an image where any alteration will not be noticeable.
