Specific Remove small details from skyline?

[ThiagoMont34]

Hi,

I have a pic of NYC skyline would like some details removed from them. I have included the original picture (1) and a pic where I show the details I would like to have off (2).

1) Original


2) See the marks


So basically if anyone could remove
- the yellow boat
- the two things in the corners
- the white boat, the little tent and the food shaft or whatever it is

Basically I would like the bottom part be as smooth as possible (no puns) without too much going on, so that the skyline looks really nice

Thanks guys!

I worked in these buildings for years. Here's the edited shoreline. I also attached version 2, where I thought the image could use a Levels adjustment.

Yess, love it. Thank you for your work.

@Rich54 Hi, thank you for your work but I was thinking if you were able to do one more thing for the photo? Idk why this annoys me so much but the Woolworth building is like sticking out of the picture (see the pics below). Do you think you could try to cover it or blend it out so that the middle part would still look good? The bottom part of the building kinda blends in with the other two but the middle part sticks out so if you could anyhow get rid of it, that would be amazing.
Sorry, I'm just a little too perfectionist >_<

That's a tricky one because there's not a lot to work with, but I could give it a try. I'm going out of town for the weekend so it may be a few days before I can get to it. Possibly somebody else will give it a shot. (And I don't think that's the Woolworth Building. The Woolworth Building is white and is a few blocks north—to the left in this image—of the new World Trade Center building. I work just behind the building you want gone, so I'm in that area every day.)

@Rich54 okay yeah, no problem! I btw checked online, and yeah, the building is different, my mistake! ^_^

Ok, here's the best I could do to remove the sliver of the building you don't like. There wasn't a lot of source material to copy from.

thank you so much for this, you have no idea how much I appreciate your work!

Great edits Rich54. It looks like the top section of the New York One World Trade Center is chopped off, so maybe a little more sky on top? Just a thought.

Thanks. I checked against a different photo and I can confirm that the entire mast is captured in the image above. But the top of the mast does go right to the edge of the image, so here's a version where I added a little extra sky.
