Cloning old bushes

[cducasse]

Hello,
I am trying to clone bushes, and don't seem to be getting really good results. I have posted the part fo the image I am trying to do, as well as my result. Please let me know if you can do better?

Thanks in advance for any help

Before cloning like mad, I would first select the bushes and duplicate it so it's on a new layer. Drag it over to the right a little and free transform it a little to make it less uniform. Now you have a bigger source to work with. Clone away and seams or lines you might see and adjust to taste. Good luck.

Follow jubbaking advice, it’s worth it

If the bushes are in the background and not the subject of the shot, you can sometimes borrow from other sources (pictures from the same shoot?). The main thing to avoid is repetition patterns. Also always clone on a new layer so you can adjust color tones separately to match the original photo.

cloning at different heights will add a bit of variability

You can also clone onto different layers so that they can be free transformed, reversed, and otherwise tweaked.
