Hey Paul, great work. The task seemed daunting to me at first (being a novice but, you've encouraged me!) Good idea regarding the crop-right. I'll have a go at it tonight. I will however try to keep the sun's rays in it and crop left a bit too. And yes, AuntiPode, I will clone out the pasta sauce!

Paul also took the liberty of straightening your horizon and brightening the photo for you ... nice edits Paul! Good job on the cloning.
Might I also suggest the OP clones out that electrical pole in the background left.
Good catch on the pole. I didn't consider that and figured I can get that out relatively easy though.
Frankly, neither the bench nor background are especially noteworthy, while the boy is delightful. I'd likely have this shot with a 135L or 70-200 f/2.8L to bring the focus in on the boy's face. You can do that, of course, simply by cropping the image in a vertical format. The dog goes away, the telephone pole goes away.

Here is a Photoshop tip that may work in this case. If you have multiple images and one does not contain the dog ... than you can bring both images in as two layers, have Photoshop align the layers and than just mask out the dog. Very fast and easy.
