About the image:
This photo is made in conservation area in Tallinn's peninsula. This area is surrounded with fence and off limits during birds nesting season. But about month ago, when I made this photo, most birds have migrated, so I figured that it's safe to enter this area, climbed over fence and tried to make some photos of this thicket. Unfortunately on reviewing these photos I did not understand why I took them 😀 so I'm thinking of trashing them. Thus your mission, should you accept it, is to rescue one of images in 1 week.

General rules:
A previous round winner presents a busy or just not-so-interesting image, having at least some potential for different crops or visions.
Anyone (except the author of the original image) can edit the presented image; up to three distinct edits in separate posts are permitted.
All edits must be based on the original image, not on other people's edits (of course, borrowing ideas would not be a problem).
Short explanations about your editing intentions and/or techniques are encouraged, but not required.
Once the deadline for images has been reached, no new image versions will be accepted. Questions and (polite) discussions of techniques are welcome, so that we can learn from one another how certain edits were achieved.
The edited version gathering the most likes ...wins ... and its author will start the next round, unless it would prefer to pass the torch to someone else.
On the closing day for voting, if there is a draw in the number of likes for two or more edits, then the person who posted the original image will decide the winner from the photos receiving the most votes.
Editing rules:
All "normal" adjustments (brightness, colors, curves etc) are permitted (both local and global ones).
All geometric adjustments (perspective, cropping etc) are permitted.
Artistic effects (brushes, textures etc) are allowed.
No additions or replacements may be made to the main subject matter of the image; non-essential objects may be removed. Sky replacements are OK unless the sky is the main subject..
Generative AI must not be used. Generative removal is OK.
Timing:
Get your images posted by November, 19th, then there will be an extra day after that just for voting.
