Everyone - Question? Do you think the red object in the left foreground is distracting? I have debated getting rid of it but can't decide. Please let me know.Thanks!

I love the composition and the treatment, and didn't notice the red object either. But I might try it with and without it and see which looks better. #9311482Toby Drye March 23, 2011
Good advice Laura! I will proceed with that and post the results. #9311759Laura Greene March 23, 2011
Toby, You've outdone yourself! This is superb, please enter it in the contest. I didn't notice the red till you mentioned it but once you did it became distracting. How about selecting it and just toning it down?Toby Drye March 23, 2011
I guess can't read? I meant to say - Thank you Michelle! I also need to say to Laura - Thank you! I will tone it down and post here. #9312055Chris Schofield March 23, 2011

I think it is an old wheel barrel. I am going to delete it plus the rest of your suggestions. #9313452Toby Drye March 23, 2011

Toby this image is awesome! You've been holding back! First impression was the overall comp - and my eye was not drawn to the red at all. I don't think it necessarily adds so much that it would be missed. #9362294Phyllis H. Burchett April 27, 2011
