Tell me how to crop this, please.

Took this at a car show the other day and can't quite to decide what to do with it. If it didn't have that handle and basket attachment to the kid's car, I think it would be fine because you could see that he was cruising around at a car show and you can see the cars in the background. Would a crop help? If so, how would you crop it? I am certainly not skilled enough to clone out the basket that obscures the background car, but I could get rid of the handle easily enough. Thoughts? Thanks!

Nobody knows what I should do?

I think maybe crop out the basket, putting the little one more to the right of the frame and then cloning out the bar holding up the basket. I did it real quick in PS. Just my view of it.

Excellent, Gonzo. It takes it a little out of context, but perhaps that is the best we can do in the situation until photoshop comes up with a amazing tool that takes things out and fills in the space with something that wasn't visible in the first place.

It might be possible to do less cropping and more cloning to keep more of the car in the picture. I don't see how to clone out the basket except by taking alot of time which I don't have to put into someone else's picture. I have a bunch from my trip that I have to play with. Possibly crop it closer to the basket and you will keep more of the cars in the picture.

I tried cloning out the basket, but there just isn't enough detail in the car to make it look good. I decided to try and blur it out a bit. I also cropped so the boy was on a thirds line and the green car is on a third intersection. I think it's a bit better at least.

Oh, I like that much better. The child is closer. Darn that basket!

Ok, I came up with something after looking at all of your advice. I took Naeno's crop and used the stupid basket to put my logo. I didn't do the best job cloning out the pole, but I will work on it later. I just blurred out the basket majorly and used it as a spot for my sig. Thanks everyone!

Much better! Good job!
