Hi Mark ...

You've got a good idea here, but I think this shot fails to make the cut.
Apart from the element you'd like to clone out, the object in the background
is very distracting.  It looks like another guitar string post.  Softer bokeh
might get it to work a little better, or maybe going the other way, with
greater DOF ... m, not so sure about that, but you might want to give it a
try.

Also, positioning the camera lower might allow the front post to block out the
rear post.  Might be an option.

BTW, I did something similar with piano strings a while back.  If I can find
the disk, maybe I'll post a pic or two here and you can help me out with some
suggestions.

PAW: Guitar String Post

Hey Folks,

Here's one I need some help on. I'm wondering if I should crop it tighter.
There's an element in the middle left side of the photo I'm wondering if I
should clone out. Ditch it altogether and try again?
