The good Doctor is right. I like the composition. Just removing it would, I think, ruin it.
If the trashcan was some other object, a bush or small tree or a large rock, would the overall effect be different? Or, is the fact that there's anything there at all what's disturbing? The trash can lends some sort of incongruity to the scene, I'll admit. Not as much as if there was a dead donkey lying there, but still... Good conversation, what with the opposing views! Opposing views force you to think about it. keith whaley Dr E D F Williams wrote: > > I would take out the bin by pasting selected bits from other parts of the > grass and the concrete edge.
