Ok.. I think it's starting to shape up.. I'm going to give a short discription on what I'm doing because somebody might be able to suggest a better way and Onslow and tvernuccio mentioned they would also like to learn.. Ok .. I removed the top butty and the distracting leaves with the clone tool and I also took LostPatrol's advice and used the softlight blending mode.. So what do you think.. Feel free to add anyother suggestions :)
