Graphics Help with picture

I need a little help with a picture for a website. The original has a date on it and I need to get rid of that somehow and I would like to add the phrase "Micah may never walk, but you can run for him!!!" The page it is going on is for a disabled child whose family runs marathons in his honor. If it helps you can check out the site to see where it is going. www.teammicah.com

 

Hi, I am the one who helped with the other photos...lol...here let me know how you like this one:

 

Yeah I didn't want to bother you anymore I thought you had been more than helpful enough already. Looks great could I get you to add a h to his name and it will be good to go. Thanks again.

 

Sorry about posting one aswell but I had allready started it so thought I may as well finish it..

 

It looks like Scooty's is better, I couldn't figure out how to remove the date, I tried trust me...lol. If you still want me to change it though I will.

 

lol its just the use of some soft brushes set at very low capacity to keep it all even. But I did have to remake the ends of some of his fingers lol

 

Ohhh...I will have to give that a go as well, it will really come in handy with some of my clients images...lol. And WOW, you did a GREAT!!! job on remaking the ends of the fingers, because I couldn't even tell, great work!!!

 

Awesome. Thanks for you help.

Lisa yours was great to.

 

No problem...I am just glad that Scoooooty was kind enough to share his secret with me on how he did it, I actually get a lot of requests on removing little things like that on images from clients all the time, I have tried in the past and usually just wound up creating a faded edge such as I did before...I love learning something new though so I immediately went to work trying to figure it out...I finally accomplished it, but didn't reconstruct the fingers near as well as he did...lol...but you know what they say practice makes perfect...
