I couldn't resist this sunrise today. I only messed with the color a tiny but - it really wasn't too different to what you see. I'm aware that I should have ensured that I got the focus on the landscape objects - I'll improve that in the future. Most of all I need some help with the scene itself and cropping it. My thought is that I lose a little of the sky at the top. But, past that, I can't decide where to go - or whether to go anywhere at all. So, feel free... Chop my picture up...

This is a great photo. Colors, composition, all that. My question is, why hasn't that stupid tray (or whatever it is) near the edge of the water not been cloned out? It's quite distracting in an otherwise fabulous photo! Let's disappear it

The "tray"is my neighbor's paddle boat laid across his swim platform and I'd love to eliminate it both virtually and literally but the latter is unlikely. I knew it was there and exactly where it was when I composed the picture and to me it's "part of the landscape".

So, to the important question. How do I remove it without messing up the water and the land? I'm new but it's OK to be brash with me... I can hack it...

It took a while to work out how it was working but Google was my friend, (as always), but it wasn't as difficult to erase such a prominent object as I thought.

I know... I sound like a kid with a new toy... We're all new to everything at some point...
