Photo help

Today a friend sent me some of the photos that he took at the wedding I went to Saturday, and there is one which is quite nice.
Thing is Debbs uncle is in the background. I am wondering if anyone has the knowledge on how to remove him but still keep the background looking good. There is also the fact that I have a lump on the right side of my forehead.

I really have no idea if what I'm asking is practical or not - if it is impossible then fair enough - it was just an idea

Anyway - enough waffle - the pic:

Airbrushing out the bunp shouldn't be too challenging - though it needs care to keep it natural looking.

Brushing out the uncle, howerver, now that's another story entirely unfortunately. Not impossible, but very time consuming to try to recreate a background that is passable as realistic. Of course, if you have another picture including that bit of background, then things get somewhat easier. If you don't, then a simpler option might be to crop you out of the image and replace the whole background.

Could be tricky, but maybe doable. Might be able to give it a quick bash at work tomorrow. Do you have access to a higher res pic? Maybe the original?

Hmmm yeah tricky. Its the upper half were its complex due to the bushes, but quite possibly doable. Got hires?

Pffffbwahahaha!

Sorry that I don't know anything about photoshopping, but it is a good photo. Night night!

Only gave it a quick'ish blast, but it's not too bad. Could get better if I had more time though.
