No put down to the Skuzzmeister. I didn't push him and he did a good job. He's got everyday probs to deal with. What he came up with looks better than what I came up with, BUT... if somebody was talented they could NCIS the fool out of it and get rid of the blue streaks.
Just sayin'...

I don't see any blue streaks in the edited version Skuzzy did. I did see them in your version, but it looks like Skuzzy got rid of them.

Like I said, he did a good job. They are still there, just much fainter. I'll fiddle with it some more, but you can't turn a pig's ear into a silk purse.

YIKES>  I tried 'Shopping the picture and using clone brush but there are just as many blue pixels as black where the "blue lines" are.  Any attempt to 'shoop'  it would make it look faked.
