Hi Monika,
You said you'd thought about how the picture would look without the leaves, so I thought I'd have a go at cloning them out :-) I used the clone tool to remove the leaves and the Dragon's right wingtips, then copied the Dragon's left wingtips, flipped them horizontally and used free transform to get them at the right angle. Then I copied the reed stem from the original picture and pasted into the changed image and this is the result. I wasn't very happy with the upper wingtip that I replaced but I think it's not too bad. Hope you don't mind and like the result! Have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Adrian
