how to fix this?
copy it paste it into a new layer. Then flip it horizontally, and move it over the the offending area. adjust brightness or color if needed.
Now blend the edges with a mask or eraser tool to soften the edges and blend it in.

1) Copy image to new layer
2) flip the image and add a layer mask
3) paint out all of the greenery on the layer upto the mountain ridge with a hard edged brush
4) with the softest edge brush you have paint out the dark part of the sky until your happy with it and it looks smooth
5) Flatten and save
Voila
Based on Photoshop but I am pretty certain you can do the same with GiMP

took this shot, really pleased with it, but either my hand or the camera strap intruded into the frame.
How can I fix this? I tried using a clone brush in gimp but with poor results (lack of skill).
