Photoshop challenge

[stuart38]

This pic has me stumped, whatever I try I have not been able to get even close to an acceptible pic. I'ts frustrating that I didnt get a better angle but I was dangling precariously over a riverbank with my 20D and Sigma 100-300 and by the time I got more stable and out of the way of a fence post, the prime picture had gone

So is it recoverable? or is it destined for the bin?

You can make money at anything if you're good enough at it

It's the black bit in the bottom left corner that needs something doing with it - you have artistic licence to do whatever you wish

thanks Chronic, BeaumonT and TerraS.... this is definitly outside of my current capabilities.. and I suspect the amount of work necessary would be too great to justify this picture. I like the idea of the bizarre framing but I think this is indeed destined for the bin (or at least a folder labelled "must learn how to use photoshop")

cheers for your attempts anyway
