I would like to have this light removed from my picture but do not have the tools. Can someone point me in the right direction in how I can get this done from someone or place. Thank you

the light post?? just clone it out in photoshop.. I assume you don't have photoshop... Ok well find a friend who does have it and get them to clone it out

Moved to photog in general.. this isn't a critique request.

I read somewhere that Adobe now has some online software for people to use. Maybe google that.

I have CS2 but am not good enough to clone it out and have it look natural.

I know this is not really a solution, but have you tried cropping the post out of the picture? The resulting image is still fine, IMHO.

Saves you trouble if you don't have any image manipulation software, and the post really irritates you.

Nice photo by the way.

Should be easy enough to clone it out. If you cant get a friend, etc. to do it, I know a couple pro re-touchers that can do it perfectly if you are looking for a professional job.

I did this with microsoft digital image pro 10 that I think I got off ebay for under $20.00. It took about five to ten minutes. I might try it with gimp(which is free) later.

Thank you all so much for the help and suggestions. Buttershug thats just what I was looking for.

I also apologize for placing this in the wrong section.

If you don't have any photo editing software, GIMP is a great option! There's a strong following so you get lots of support and tutorials online. It's completely FREE, and it'll do more than you ever need.
