What else can I do?

[DianaS]

Ok, I have this photo of my daughter and I hate that there is a man on the left side of the picture. I just got Elements 10 for Christmas and am still learning. I researched online how to remove a person/object from a picture.

The first one I found and tried was using a clone stamp tool and that didn't turn out at all so I tried the Spot Healing Brush and this is what I got. Is there anything else I can do to get that man out of the picture. I realize it's a hard picture to do since I'd have to try (I think) clone what I think should be there? But how would I do that? I really have no clue, just looking for a little help TIA

after removing the man, maybe you can straighten the photo as it it leaning to the left. something like this.
