Honestly, I go back and forth between liking the bag and cup where they arePersonally, while the bag is a minor distraction, I don't see the cup in the same way. It would be a natural to the scene in any case, and adds to the "out-of-character" element of this old man using a magnifying glass to view his cell phone's screen! The humorous element is just too powerful. One could wish that the cell were more obvious, somehow, but also, the exploration of the photo, trying to discern what this fellow is doing adds to the pleasure of the discovery, so it's hard for me to judge. I like your work, so I'm biased, I suppose. :-)
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 ....
In any case, I don't think it should be tossed, but it does have some elements that keep it from being perfect. :-(
