Hello, yes this looks good, there’s quite a bit of detail now. Only a couple of points, is the hedge different at the top for a reason ? Also I notice there are lots of speckles / dust on the image, but I fear removing them will loss sharpness and detail, I tried in a similar photo, then left it as is, is there any other software that’s good at doing this ? Out of curiosity. Wonder what the best method is to do this work, I had thought, removing the subject into another layer, creating the back ground and then placing the subject back, or lasting the background over the image, using a layer mask and brush over the original subject, am I getting warm ? I find the various methods fascinating.
looking at the original photo closer, is that a grass area before the hedge or what ever it is……most likely to late or difficult now, does it look like this to you ?

I simply copied a hedge and pasted it in to this project. Honestly, I did not pay attention to the pattern thinking that it was naturally that way? The noise/speckles were left in as they added to the original 'aged' photo. I have removed them from the subject using Topaz Denoise and a mask on a duplicate. I like your plan of copying the subject to a new layer and then experimenting with backgrounds. IMO, much easier than trying to duplicate a BG that is not visible.
I am not certain as to what growth is in the foreground - I guessed.

Hello, I’m now not sure if there is a flat area behind the chair, before the ’hedge’ begins, maybe it is directly behind the chair 
what do you think ?
if you are able to remove noise without losing detail, that would be fantastic
you say you just pasted the hedges, how do you paste around the chair .? With a mask ?
thanks

Added contrast to the area 'behind the chair' then reduced the noise of the subject further using a mask and NIK Glow filter. The hedge was copied from the Web, placed overtop using the saved mask of the subject.
