Thank you. IMO removing distractions in post-processing is “allowed” as long as the result is representative of the original scene and one is clear about it.

Art Morris, who is much followed, has been regularly cleaning up images for many years, since the distant past by moving things around in PS and now using AI tools - see https://www.birdsasart-blog.com/ for the latest examples. Unless you are entering a competition and if it is just for yourself, it doesn't really matter.
