Yes I know - not Leica- better than most, but in 2004 there was little digital Leica for serious use around and I cannot find an DMR file as bad.  Browsing through old files I chanced on an old Canon 10D shot from a safari in South Luanga, Zambia, in 2004. Let's see what we can do with relatively little trouble to a slightly noisy (😜) old file:

Can't AI do something about that foliage in the right foreground? (😉

By no means perfectly. But Object Removal AI in PS (which works very well on more defined objects) plus a bit of cloning can help more or less.

Isn't the colour balance a bit off? I've tried in Photoshop by pressing 'Auto Colour' and it both corrects the cast and also improves the colour contrast across the picture.

Debatable - this was still a tungsten spotlight. You don't want it too cool not to lose the tropical night feeling. I did hit auto contrast in PS, though  But yes, certainly room for improvement here, thanks 😀

Interesting what one can pull from such old technology - it was one of the first high-end DSLRS, after the D30, the very first.

A high MP camera, jumped up from 3 MP to 6.3. Puts the present MP race rather into perspective...
