I took this photo of my parent's farm and would like to print and frame it for them. The only problem is the lens flare. Is it possible to remove it?

That little red thing and maybe the top left black stuff?
Yup that is very easy to fix if you have a nice large file.

Hey there,
Play around with the "clone" tool, it would easily remove the lens flare and the power lines. There are many tutorials online, and you would only need a beginner tutorial to help you fix it. smile

And IMO I'd remove the flare and power lines, just to make it more clean looking. smile

Flare is great...........It adds that little something, which makes a beautiful image stand out a little more.

As far as the lens flare, I have no clue how to fix it but as for the wires, couldn't re-cropping it work, or would that ruin the shot?

Or a nice vignette for just the two upper corners.

Use the clone tool if you feel you need to get rid of the flare. It's personal taste there. Some will say get rid of it, some will say keep it...as you've seen. It would be fairly easy since there's not a lot of detail in that area.

You can clone out the power lines too but you have to be a bit more careful there so you don't mess up the clouds behind them.

Get a copy of the photo to me and I'll do it for you. smile
