Doggie cyst

[Wobbler]

My clients have ordered this shot as a 30"x20", and they'd like the cyst removed - the dogs right hand back leg, about half way down.

Any suggestions as to the best way about this? My skills on this are not good LOL - I've been trying to clone it out, but it looks cloned, and I want it to look natural. As it's going to be big, it needs to look pretty untouched if poss...feel free to have a go, or give advice...would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks in advance

A bit of cloning trying to keep the lighting over the bone/muscle the same all the way down - if I was doing this for real I would ideally like more details as to what the colour on the back leg looked like before the lump appeared

can you "nudge" it a bit with the liquify tool?

I've used them to retouch some old photos I didn't have time to play with for somone. They charged me $4 per image after the free trial and did a good job

Sure they don't mean the two lumps on it's back.

I'm a dog lover and I love my dogs with all their imperfections. I'm quite aghast at their 'request'

I would tackle it by pasting in a 'graft' from another light part of the hound and do some blending.
