I had young foxes living behind the house. They were fun to photograph! An ear of the fox on the log is blocked by a branch. Any ideas how to address the issue in PS?

Please delete the awful watermark
and they could easily be cloned out by anyone.

We must not edit anyone's work in PC&C if they do not check the (store original) box. We must also respect the right of the photographer to protect his/her work.
That being said, DJack, why haven't you cloned out the branch? Would you like help doing that? In viewing the quality of your photos I would be surprised if you didn't know how to do it yourself.

Yes, the watermark is terrible. I need to work on it. I'll add it to my long list!
Nightski, I would appreciate the help. I am trying to gain PS skills but removing the limb while making the ear look natural has been beyond me.

Hello Djack41, if you are willing to repost and check "Store Original" I will see what I can do with the branch, but only if you want me to do that. What version of PS do you Have?

I have an idea, but it will take a bit of work.
Select the other ear, then copy it to its own layer.
Now flip that layer left to right and move it so the ear sits over top of the other ear.
(considering the layer will be the same size as the original, you may have to copy the ear to a new image, a lot smaller than the original but with the same resolution, and a transparent background. Then copy&paste or drag&drop that ear to the original picture and move it over top of the other ear).
Reduce the transparency of this "ear layer" to maybe 50% so you can see what you do.
Select that ear again, and with the Transform tool -> Distort, push and pull the corners till the "new" ear fits over the "old" one and hides the end of the branch.
The way I imagine it, it will look like the branch continues behind the ear.
There may be better or easier ways to do this, but this is what came in mind when I looked at this little fox. He/she is adorable.

Thank you, Esther. Instruction like this is so welcome here in the PC&C section. If everyone always does it for us, how can we learn. It is nice to see what can be done, that's for sure, but this is so refreshing.

My intention was to edit the picture to my satisfaction then post it with an account of how I did it, after all it would be of no use to the OP if the method I suggested failed miserably :-)

Thank you, Graham, it's a very kind offer indeed. My comments was not in any way meant to belittle your offer. It's just so refreshing to see someone give instruction, I had to comment on that.

Thank you all for the advise and offer to help.
I will repost the photo and check the store original box.
Graham, I have PS CC. I am making slow but steady progress with PS
I decided to take up photography and it has been a steep curve for a country boy. Camera, Apple computer, lightroom, PS, Wacom, Nik, Topaz........ I now feel at home in Lightroom and hopefully, PS will come along soon.

Here it is Djack41, it was done in Photoshop CC using the content aware move tool. With it I selected the area of branch that was immediately covering the ear, the tool done a pretty good job, I then tidied the ear up with the clone tool. Next I used content aware tool to fix a small section of the branch close to the ear and worked my way along the branch with the same tool, then just a small amount of tidying with the clone tool. Less than five minutes.
I hope you find this useful.
