    Dad in Venice

    Hi everyone!

    Took this last week. I feel there is 'too much' in this picture and the eye is distracted a bit...

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks for your critiques!!!!

    This is a tough one... Even if you removed the two guys in the background (and that wouldn't actually be that difficult) you still have the tablecloth battling the shirt and the bars would still leave the scene incredibly busy. I like the pose and understand why you'd want to save the shot, but it really would take quite a bit of work to get this into a usable/believable state.

    How about something like this. I'm not great with photo shop but this is my quick attempt at what I would do, Jeff
