A lot of cloning. Crop, correct in Camera Raw, clone some reeds in at the bottom, set B & W points, Topaz Noise reduction, sharpen.

AP replace sky and add reflection => PL4 remove colorcast(in NIK Color Efex 4), adjust contrast and selective tone. Removed as much dirt and dust as I could. Then I remembered this was from the 1960s when no one cared about environmental concerns, so some of it was probably pollution.:-P

Spending much time in Iceland, my skin was never so clean while there. I imagine its quite similar in your part of Scotland..

The infamous Lake Wanaka Tree, unfortunately a local cut half of it down, as they didn't like all the visitors it brought

Cutting that tree was sheer vandalism.

Yes, if you live away from the Central Valley (Edinburgh to Glasgow belt) the air is unpolluted.

Martin, I was just making a(possibly bad) joking excuse for my not having cleaned up all the crud in my edits. :-)

A final throw of the dice. I remembered that I had a very old, 2002, app named "Polaroid Dust & Scratch Removal" - and it still works (as a standalone. Here it is in action.

1. Before removal (full size)

That works good Martin. I wish it was still available.

ETA: Nevermind I just downloaded it.

It's eureka moments that make this weekly challenge so interesting.

Nice. I use the dust & scratch removal plugin for Photoshop by Lasersoft Imaging which works great but it isn't free. Free is always better. :-) I'll test the two side by side and see which I think does the better job though.

Thanks Gene. Yes, free is better if it works. Pity that the free app no longer integrates with Photoshop.

Found the Polaroid app too and gave it a try on the image below. Version 1. is cleaned with one of my plain blue skies (Polaroid app on the sky, lassoed) and additional clean-up using erase and clone in Luminar. Also used Aurora HDR (didn't do much) then a bit of tweaking in Luminar (not a lot more) - light, colour, foliage enhancement, contrast, details including a bit more on the background left formation. Version 2. is the same but used one of my own sunsets. Thought it suited the red tones elsewhere.

This one as above but cloned out the camper (sorry Martin), cropped a bit and a 1 deg right rotation.
