Is this edit to obvious? I edited off some grass that was hanging in by his face.

I personally think the blurriness on the wood is distracting.

I worked on it a little more with a different tool. Here it is now.

Much better! Still not quite perfect but a lot closer.

Yes, you can still see the outline. A bit more blending should get you there. Use the clone tool to match the wood grain in the posts, and the healing tool on the bird and you can probably get away with it from there.

LOL I should have read on before I replied. Yes, this is better. I can still see the wave a bit but I'm looking for it and know it's there. to a casual viewer you're probably good.

Its annoying he always finally gives me a nice picture there and then when I finally get a good picture (I think) I look at it later and the grasses are in the way!

Do you guys think that this is too much editing? Here is the original:

And here is the one after i edited it. Does it look too unnatural?

Yes and no. Lighten it up. The drama you're after is in there, but it's so dark it's hard to tell. Kick it up and play a bit with the contrast and I think you'll get there. You want your light level to be a little more than halfway back to the original.
