Dragonfly extraction request...

[Ric Millen]

Hi Gurus - a friend asked me to use my (limited) Photoshop skills to remove the background from this picture of a dragonfly...

I think you'll agree this is a pretty difficult (impossible?) task, but I would be grateful if any of you amazing Photoshop gurus can do something to maybe fade/blur the background to make the dragonfly and flower more prominent? Make it stand out from the background? Picture taken with an iPhone.

This is my first post, first request to this forum but it looks a fun place to hang out and maybe I can help people with some of the simpler tasks!? We'll see...

Thanks

Ric

Hi Ric Millen

Is this ok? I just made the background black&white.
It would be very difficult or at least very time consuming to remove the background behind the dragonfly's wings (For me that is).

Yes, thanks - that's a clever solution.
