Changing back ground

[bushmins]

I would like to rasterbator this photo, but I need to change the back ground to white only. The grey does not look good when rasterbated.
Is there anyway to do it without making the photo look awful, as all my attempts have done.

The photo above is not the same size as the photo I will be using.

levels tool in ps + dodge & burn on the branches in 1st pic.

Could you do that with the larger size photo? I don't think photo bucket will let me upload the photo but I could add a link...

It the large res one. The second version you did look the best.
Can I do that on a free version of ps?
Thank you very much.

Deanolfc did a great job making the photo white rather than grey, but can someone do it with the 1920x1080 photo found here?

I've only just got around to sorting the wall out that it will go on.

That's brilliant. Sad thing is I just ran out of printer ink! Time to pop to Tesco.

Thank you very much, you have just brightened up my room.
