resynthesizer plugin Gimp

I used to do removing object(s) using Retouch and Spot Removal in Darktable. The process is a tedious and low rate success, not to mention often unsatisfying outcome. Recently I found a plug-in for Gimp: Resynthesizer. It touts the performance for removing and healing can be as good as of PS if not better. I did a test run and it seems to kick DT a hard butt. Not only the result is clearly better and satisfying, but the process is a smooth simplicity. Since I don't use PS, couldn't compare directly. Need someone who uses PS to take a test using my original image for comparison. P.S. It can even nicely remove (metal or else) fence which covers subject(s), e.g., animals behind it!

I have to admit, I can see a ghost of the bee in the retouched image. It would pass muster if I did not see the first photo.

Ok, the ghost bee you see is the part I did not select for removing and healing: it's the (burred) right-wing I left unselected. I did the selection too fast... my fault, not the plug-in.
