not much you can do. Obviously, you could clone him out but I think you'd be pretty bummed with the end result unless you are a PS wizard.

nice images but I have a ?. Is this in a HS stadium? The venue (or lack of) seems really odd for a varsity match.

Not bad, looks as though you are standing. Need to drop to your kness or lower. Definitely looks like a park rather than a HS Stadium.

Pretty easy clone job. This too about 5 minutes. With the original and a little time you wouldn't ever know he was there.

WIZARD! Seriously Dan, you mind sharing how you did this? I clone stuff from time to time but for anything big like this, it never comes out looking natural.

What brush, size, layers, bleh, all that stuff. You mind?

With things like bushes it is very easy because there is no real uniformity. I just do a quick paint over with the stuff right near then grab bits and pieces from other parts of the image. Throw in a couple of weeds and that rock from the right side of the image. With the grass I'll clone it out then run over it with the heal brush to even it out.

Pretty much just soft regular brush in variable sizes.

pretty much my method too but with much weaker results! (no healing brush though, might try that). With things like bushes it is very easy because there is no real uniformity.

Wow Dan, your amazing! Would you mind if I kept that image?

Our HS is very small. About 100 students. Therefore, we lack funds to have a real field. I'll try to get lower next time. Thanks alot!

I think it would actually be refreshing to go to a smaller school. I live in a relatively small town (~15,000) and the middle school my kids attend has over 1,000 students alone.

Ehhh It's alright. You get caught for EVERYTHING though.

Sweet, thanks alot!

Not too bad. Like someone else said, definitely get down lower to the grass.

Defiantly will next time. Thankfully, this was they're first game, so I have plenty more chances.
