AI should do a good job if you can accurately describe the bridge and do not mispell too many words.

The Delete Key makes less noise ... and if his chainsaw skill matches his photo skill he must absolutely avoid touching a chainsaw (or even a butter knife).

Quite honestly, Im really wondering if the OPs opening post was intended as humor ?

I hope it is a joke. If not go back with a weed-whacker.

This one is easy. You just mirror the image and the trees will be on the back side of the bridge.

@Stardust - Can you explain how you would do this? .....and perhaps show the result? It would be awesome to learn from you how to do a mirror of such a complex image. .....if it is even possible with this picture.

@Home Brewer - Normally speaking, to successfully erase an element from a photo, there has to be enough information in the photo for the erase tool to know what is in the background, so that the erase tool can duplicate the background in place of the element being removed. This picture is so complex in the foreground and the background is virtually non existent, that I do not think an erase tool could successfully remove all those foreground branches, even if you zoomed in. I don't believe there is a tool that could select such a complex foreground and turn it into a mask either. You might try to zoom in on the arch and remove branches that cover just the actual arch itself (using an erase tool on the arch you will be removing objects that cover the arch by duplicating the underlying arch pattern), to pull the arch effectively into the foreground but I suspect that will cause the picture to look flat and it will still be congested.

This is an extremely serious situation. Your expertise is most greatly warranted. Many directives of its agenda would then be more than marginally derived from the obstacles affronting all principal parameters. Go for it and best wishes on your journey. You just cant make this stuff up !

Its way more seriouser than we think !

A joke? It probably is.
Although his second comment made me second guess.

It actually reminds me of what I tell my Photoshop students on the very first day of class;

1. Always start with a good photo
2. If Photoshop cannot fix it, it's Gowd-awful-ugly (that's an icebreaker to calm and at ease them)

In the case of his photo, he took a picture of the bushes, not of the intention. So removing the bushes leave us with nothing.

That is why I asked if it was the Devil's bridge as what remains visible looks like it, although the OP mentioned Italy which was the wrong place for it. If it was indeed the bridge, then theres is no need to clear the bushes to see how it look.

We have seen numerous devils bridges in many countries so it could be called such. It looked similar to a smaller intact Roman built bridge we saw and crossed on another vacation; but I could not see enough detail at the base that is normal for Roman building practices.
After the last responses we used google maps in street view taken may 2011 and saw more detail of the bridge since the smaller trees are without leaves. The bridge that crossed the gorge was perpendicular to the new car width road we were driving. we could see some evidence of old parts on either side of the gorge. I think there is much of the top parts of bridge or viaduct missing. The gorge was very steep and not accessible in this location
My wife thought we could remove the foliage and learn more
We will not pursue this any more.
thanks for the inputs

Sorry there was not enough on the image we can use to reconstruct your bridge but good to know you did saw it better.

Happy travels!

If you want a picture of a bridge, why not follow the path to the bridge?
