Specific Remove person behind me in the background

[mlc]

Hi everyone! I would like to have removed the person in the bright red shirt right behind me. I've been trying to retouch the photo on my own but it was so hard to clone and fix the ground in order to respect the geometry of the stones. So I really need the help of an expert!
If possibile i would like to have removed also the girl in the pink shirt and with a mask walking on the right side of the picture.
I don't expect to have removed all the people in the background bc it would be too way complicated.
Thanks in advance!

Here's a shot at it. The pink mask wearer is problematic and I'll let someone else with the time do it. I quickly changed the skew on the image as an aside but you might not like how it further distorts your perspective.

Nice shot

Here's my attempt. For the woman on the right in the pink sweater, I desaturated and darkened her clothes so she's much less noticeable.

I adore how you cloned the group of people on the left of the image and reversed it behind me

My wife came down into my computer cave to schedule stuff and the photo was still up. Without prompting she said the woman in pink is distracting ... why don't you change the color to something that doesn't stand out. Didn't even occur to me. <SIGH>

Good job.

I didn't want that to be too obvious, so I reversed them and also changed their clothes a little.

I knew if I waited long enough those two would move.

... and I still like the background straightened.
