No Moti, you were right to try to crop it out. The problem was that it needed to not be there at all. This version looses all the togetherness of the colors - how the blue jacket and magenta-ish hands match the umbrella so wonderfully. Now all that is gond and I'm wondering what I'm supposed to be looking at. I much rather have the other where I apprecaite the colors and composition - I can deal with wishing the basket wasn't there while I'm enjoying the rest of the photo. :) I'm sorry I wasn't clear. What I meant was that it was a shame that the basket got in the way as it shouldn't have been there at all. The real picture is the person and umbrella. ~ Lonnit
Thanks for your comments. I agree to that too, it was silly of me to try and crop out the basket. Here is the original version, hope it is better.
