Foreground blurred weed removal

[valizoe1]

Lovely buck so close to me but this foreground weed blurs areas unwanted. How to fix. I reviewed the chain link fence removal and that does not work for a blurred weed. Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to TP

Always nice to see species from other parts of the world

In the main I take such OOF intrusions as ' of the environment' and pertinent to the image as a whole.

Having said that, I think you need to consider your AF settings as neither the buck or the wolf are sharply in focus.....but as far as I can tell, some vegetation in the foreground is sharp i.e. you missed focusing on the eye of the buck and equally so on the eye of the wolf.

I'll look forward to seeing more of your wildlife imagery.

It can often be done reasonably well using a mix of techniques (cloning, frequency separation, drawing, etc); but it's not usually worth the effort.

Probably some of the techniques of the chain link removal will help but it's going to take ages unless you are well practised. There's no AI-based one-click solution that I know of. I would go out a shoot more frames, could be that is quicker too

I thank you all for your responses. I agree it is not worth the effort. I will just keep practicing, not a thing standing in my way. I have the equipment and the possibilities for encounters so I'll just keep at it.
