What is being said is very good advise for future use. If you are trying get a picture of something, and some body is in the photo you can take the picture, Then after they a little future away, take the picture again. You can then over lay the area where the first picture was with the back ground from the second photo or vise a versa.

Nice and a very worthwhile picture. (Color range selection>modify> expand>3 pix), content aware (shift+F5), copy and paste multiple times with mask to break up patterns, stamp tool, and non-destructive color burn. Many how to videos on you tube waiting for you. Good luck!!!
Using Photoshop CS6. Used the patch tools to remove the people, then the clone tool to extend the fence and walkway. Also used the spot healing brush to smooth out the edges.
Greg, Here's my take. Not perfect, but it only took 15 seconds. I'm using PS CC.
1. Open photo.
2. Use lasso tool to select what you want to remove. Loose is fine. You don't have to fit the outline tightly.
3. Hit delete. Choose Content Aware.
4. Repeat on smaller sections if needed.
That's it. It could be further refined if needed. Like the walkway could be extended as others have done or similar.
Hi Greg.....
Since there was no way to guess what was behind her, I cropped part of her out, then cloned the rest of her out. The proportions and size are the same. I don't believe the slight crop affected the shot.
Frank.
I would of done the same thing. It's great when we can two or even three great photos out of one... :D
One other thing you might learn from this thread is to "not loose the forest for the trees." (don't take that literally) Sometimes you can get caught up with cloning and healing etc. and loose site of what is the best photo.
I went back through and skimmed all the edited posts. I wasn't looking at the repaired corner. I was looking at the overall photos.
My conclusion (YMMV) is that replacing the woman with a dark area helps the final composition. I felt that two of the best examples were done by Winterose and Audwulf.

Here is my solution. I didn't like the dark bush in the foreground anyway.
Hello;
I tried content aware with this image in Photoshop, I use it as a stable for removing items from an images, however I knew I was going to have problems as the lady has the tree beside her and the bridge below. To make it work one could mark her out completely with content aware then use the clone stamp tool to manufacture the bridge. I did not do that but feel with the content aware removing her then cropping the image back should work well.
Just my thoughts, good luck this is a great image!
You could also clone the foreground bush and duplicate it (as many times as necessary) over the trail where La Gorda was.
I'd try to find the profile of a curvy, voluptuous woman of Latin descent and substitute her. I might even turn her around and add a beckoning finger. . . "come with me into the light". Or the darkness. Whatever.
