Photo Retouching - A Brides request

I took this photo on a gazebo the bride loved it but hated the Christmas lights still on the structure. I retouched the photo and it came out great I think.

Before


After

Good job. Photoshop?

Good job --- just me personally, but I would shop out the inked sleeve.

Now that would be a difficult PS

Yeah it was done in photoshop,and I have had in the past removed tattoos upon request. This bride wanted it in there.

Nice work!

Good job. You missed the bulbs shadow on the right of the pic, not that it would be noticed without seeing the original.

Great job and great pick up

What did she think of it?

I think - great job

As long as you charged her for the work its a great job.

Great job on retouching

The bride loved it overall, and yeah she did not notice the Bulb shadows. I attempted to adjust them but didnt look natural.

Super good job!

Nice job.

Give it ten years

Awesome! She has a lovely skin colour - good job on editing it a bit, looks slightly drab in the original.

I noticed that too but only because I was looking for it!

Did you use the content-aware fill to do it? If not what did you use?
