Can you crop the photo, removing space from one side, to make them look centered again?

I can crop some of the image but it leaves alittle bit of the flowers on the right side. I guess that maybe I can take the flowers out using photoshop.

If you post an example somewhere for us to see, I'm sure someone will help you with it.

Default Send in the Clones!!
If it is that important then you can clone them over a little. To do it right could mean a half hour or more.

If you have CS4, you can always try content aware scaling to add some distance between the person and the pulpit or reduce the distance...your choice.

Why do they need to be centered at the pulpit?
