As far as I can make out, the story was this:
A co-worker was out in the great outdoors (Note for nerds: That's the BIG room with the blue ceiling and thick green carpet) when he spotted an unusual flower, a bee orchid. He wanted a photo of it, but all he had was a mobile phone.
Because of the angle & the silly way they build cameras into phones, the picture he got out of it looked like this:

And okay, you can see the flower, but the ground was level and the people in the background detract from it.
So he asked if there was anything I could do. . .
I wish I could tell you that I loaded the "resynthesizer" plugin and it simply removed the background people for me. But sadly, it didn't, so I had to do it the hard way. So here's the photo after a few minutes meddling was done with the Gimp:

Innit pritty?
