too many twigs

when taking shots of trees in autumn a lot of small bare branches and twigs clutter things up. Is there a way to reduce these?

If you hadn't suggested it was a problem, I would have said I like the view. Most of the bare branches on the left side I didn't even notice.
The clone tool in your editor is not feasible for large areas, so some suggestions:
1. zoom in closer (or crop) to create a "smaller story"
2. shoot where there are fewer trees
3. use software such as Topaz Simplify that replaces small details with broader color strokes (like painting)
There are many examples of smaller stories of autumn color posted to UHH; here's one I noticed this morning:

If you have Photoshop a combination of tools could help quite a bit. Content aware fill, patch tool set to content aware, heal tool set to replace mode, cloning stamp. The first two are like magic.

You could zoom in and selectively clone out much of it, not all maybe but enough to make a visual difference.

Here is an example. I used a variety of tools to remove the parking lot and the dead trees. Sometimes the plain old spot healing tool when used as a brush is the best content aware tool. Other times patch works well because you can drag the selection to a source of content to use for the replacement. Other times content aware fill is best because you can erase all the areas you don't want to use for replacement content and just leave the most similar content. Other times clone stamp is good.
