File talk:Canis lupus arctos qtl1.jpg

that fence >: /

This is by far my favorite wolf photo anywhere, I want to be clear. In fact I love this picture so much that I've saved it to disk where it appears in screensavers and other slideshows on my computer. I call it the pillowwolf. I'm so in love with the pillowwolf that I eventually noticed the one flaw in the picture that keeps it from being absolutely perfect: the photo seems to have been taken from behind a fence of some sort, which leaves dark shadows at right angles on the wolf's fur and slight imperfections that look like wavy lines superimposed on the background. Is there any way to remove this artifact? Obviously even the cuddliest pillowwolf in the world isnt 100% trustable to not jump on someone if they climbed up over a fence to take a picture, so I was hoping it was possible to use Photoshop or perhaps even something more advanced than Photoshop to remove the overlay of the fence from the picture.

To be clear, I've already tried the first-line solutions such as Clone Stamp, Pattern Stamp, and smudge, with mode set to Luminosity. They "work", but produce something so jarringly unnatural that it looks far less pleasing than the original. So Im guessing what I want cant happen, but Im curious if anyone knows a more recent Photoshop plugin that might help, or some other solution entirely.
