| Shyrell, When I tutor my students I encourage them to get it correct in the camera and your image is a classic example of how this could have/should have been applied. You must learn to LOOK AROUND the viewfinder when you take a photograph and you must get comfortable (and fast when photographing children) making adjustments to your position and angle to get the best photograph. Many photographers are so taken with the subject that they don't see the obvious distractions in the frame right in front of their eyes. By moving yourself around your subject it would have been possible to remove the distractions in the background. Asking Mom to move (or even place the child on Mom's lap if moving her would have caused a meltdown for the baby) would have been the easiest thing to do and blocking the cooler (?) with the baby's body would have been a simple matter had you changed your body position. Photoshopping out these kinds of visual errors is a tedious way to go about making good images when there is a strong image to be had with simple body movements on your part. Before you spend a lot of time Photoshopping out distractions on this image you should try cropping tighter on the baby's face, hands and apple. As far as marketing this particular image I don't know of any other than the family to whom the child belongs. Perhaps assemble images from the day into a Blurb book and sell the family the completed album as a record of their day at the picnic.
