Workshop Note
What I did here was quite simply to use two tools in PhotoShop - blur and clone.
With the blur tool, I was able to gently minimize some of the jaggies that appeared in the image. I simply brushed over them with the brush set at 50%.
The spots were cloned out. Each time I selected a portion of the blade with a similar pattern to the one behind the spot and cloned it out. This tidies up the image a little, removes distractions from your main subject and also reduces the file size so that you do not have to compress as much
