lift object from background not working on some photos

Photos has to recognize the object and be able to, in its "mind," separate it from the background in order to set it off for "lifting." It works pretty well for people. But many other "objects" just seem to be part of the background. The biggest problem with "Artificial Intelligence" is that it can't read our minds! (Or, hold it, maybe that's the best part!)

So this process is always going to work best for people and pets and stuff that people usually focus on. I don't think that we can depend on it working for things that we may see as distinct and important in this picture, but may not be usually seen so in other types of pictures.
