Separating the jumper from the trees

We are into the activity season, where people do all matter of strange things. This was taken last year, what I am not sure of is whether I have got sufficient separation between the woman and the background:

It seems to me that you can blur the background a little bit.
Since it’s almost all green, it won’t be difficult for you to make a parametric mask.
The result (with RT 5.8-dev):

Edit: after uploading my edit, i realized what you mean: you asked for eliminate the branch under her body? You already did a good job in this. :+1:

Yes, I mixed a couple of similar shots. The aim is still the same though.

I accepted the challenge of separating the jumper from the background - very difficult!
Three or four tries in GIMP, none completely successful, but here is my latest. I advise not inspecting too closely!

with the cropping and then adding a bit of background blur… could be stronger weaker lighter to taste I guess…

EDIT more blur…

Fine! ))

For some reason the files are not uploaded, and it’s a pity forum hosting.

We run our own hosting, its likely your browser or machine. Sorry.

What are you apologizing for?
But I don’t remember any problems with Google Chrome that it couldn’t upload something somewhere. And the error message is drawn by the forum interface, not by Chrome’s face. So I tried other browsers. Firefox is the same. But never mind.
