The big spots in the original were likely o-of bugs. I pretty much agree with you on the contrast and the WHITEs; maybe just a bit brighter than in the ORIG would be best.

As for the extra twigs, their removal involved many steps, too many to post here. As it says above, image clean-up involved a combination of Clone Stamp Tool and Patch Tool work to execute the Divide and Conquer strategy and a series of flopped and warped Quick Masks that were fine tuned with Layer Masks. All as described in detail in Digital Basics and APTATS I (Quick Masks) and APTATS II (Layer Masks).

Their is a wealth of additional info on both CDs.

I prefer the contrast in the unedited version but like how you have edited out of the extra twigs.
