mb,

I did this one with a layer mask technique. Made a couple of duplicate layers, On one of the layers I used content aware fill to make the background match (works pretty well, but some cloning is still necessary. The on the layer above that, I applied a layer mask and with my paint brush loaded with black and painting into the mask, just painted the other guy away. I actually faked the rope, it's just a selection filled with the color picked from the rope. You could use the clone tool to put the rope back in if it's that important to you.That's about it (more or less)
