Need a photo edited

[hinicole]

Hi there,

I am need a photo edited which I took and I'm just having issues making the shadow/gap between the wooden panels less visible or thinner while making it look not photoshopped and natural (not blurred out since that's all I could do with it) having it blend smoothly with the rest of the wood pattern.

Looking forward to the edit.

I'm really not quite sure what you're looking for. I just reduced the shadows overall and painted some of it back in on the flowers.
You have some strong sunlight coming from the left so shadows are a natural look. It's actually a really nice shot.
The shadows are lightened here - is in the direction you want to go?

Hi,

I was referring the the small gap in between the two planks of wood, I tried making them thinner but it just blurred it out and made it darker. I like the lighting on my photo, it’s just the gap between the two planks of wood that I want edited smaller / thinner because my eye keeps going to the dark line that separated the two pieces of wood on the ground

I think I understand - does this work for you...I also kept your original lighting...

I was also working on a version. Little bit different lighting.

Thinking of something like this?

I approached this somewhat differently,.
I added plywood to the bottom of the vertical piece. and that made the highlighted gap on the horizonal plywood narrower. Correct or not , blending the two vertical pieces was tricky and fun

I like it a lot, is there a way you can take off the filter because I like the natural light, i appreciate the help

Here is my version pre-adjustments in both levels & clarity and before I burned in the highlight woodgrain.
