As you can see I cloned out the lines (using the clone tool setting of 30 hardness and varying radius). I could see you've already used NeatImage or similar software on the BG but the foreground bird was still a bit noisy. You could deal with this by getting the full version of NI which allows varying degrees of noise reduction on different parts of the image or you can do what I've done:
Set the blur tool at 1% hardness and at the top of the page look for the brush settings. I set the brush at 10% opacity and used it all over the bird. I then set it at 100% opacity and 100% hardness and a small radius to go around the edges of the bird.
I hope you like it :)
PS Looking at it now that it is uploaded I'd suggest leaving out the blur around the face of the Egret and around the fish, it just softens the image too much around those crucial areas and spoils the great sharpness you've achieved there. Confine it to the plumage on the neck and body. |

I do not know what happened to the top, it looks as if there was a filter added across, but anyway, it crown your catus nicely. |
