Specific Eliminate the vegetation behind the butterfly?

[chemglenn]

If someone can eliminate the vegetation (stalks/stems) behind the butterfly, it is appreciated. It distracts from the butterfly antennae. I'm not skilled enough to do it myself.

Any edit is appreciated!

This was certainly a test of patience...among other things...

As shot:



With exposure adjustment and a slight bit of sharpening - I didn't want to affect the markings...

I like these colors. Can you help me remove the stuff by the proboscious?

Late to the game and everyone has already jumped in. But here to fill your request for the proboscis edit without any additional color changes:

This is too much fun to let it pass by without working on it. Here's another take.

...and personally I'd crop it tighter.
