Nice images Robert.
Shame Dave had the plastic bag in hand.
As I was processing the image I was uneasy about the plastic bag, previous attempts to remove suchlike have resulted in silly distractions in the image, so I decided to leave it. After all, 'thats Dave' but the plastic bag in itself is a distraction. I can easily clone some of the bag out where the dog is the background but re-constructing Dave's hand and leg is well beyond my ability.
I may have a go at reducing the bag and turning it either less bright or clone in some other object... It was a spontaneous exposure, I couldn't really have asked Dave to dump the bag and walk past again! I was actually concentrating on the foreground and background and didn't really notice the bag at the time.
I will have a play with it later... Perhaps add some sort of texture and remove the gaudy colour, I think Dave's left leg is behind the bag, that would be very difficult to construct, also it's getting away from the original. One thing taking out a telephone wire but re-constructing a leg is both difficult and outside the spirit of the game, in my opinion.
