Well, John, just make the bag the main subject and most of your complaints are resolved ;-))
Honestly, I go back and forth between liking the bag and cup where they are and just tossing the pic into the trash. I think for me there's enough to like that I won't trash it ... can't really do that anyway as I've got the negative <LOL> I did bring down both the bag and the cup in PS. They were REALLY intrusive in the original scene, but I knew that when I made the photo. Maybe I can make the cup and the bag brown ....
