The other day I was asked to donate a photo to be auctioned off at a benefit for the United Way. I am more than happy to help, so I want to choose my best photo that will raise the most money. I chose a photo of Fountain Square in Cincinnati which my family went crazy over (bear in mind they aren't photographers). I don't think it's my best photo, but it's certainly something that could be hung in almost amy home or office, so is very practical.
I want help being told what needs fixing here. I can see at least two distracting background elements that I will clone out, but other than that I need some advice. I could also use advice on what size I should have printed.
Here's the photo. (Don't worry, the copyright and the border are merely there to create consistency among my photos on my website, they will not be there when printed) Also, feel free to peruse my website and tell me I chose the wrong photo.

If its the shot that is on your website (loaded 7/2005), then I think that is a good choice. I can definitely see someone buying that, especially Cinncy locals.

Congrats.... looks great,.... i was asked the same thing for a local school in the city... i blew it up to 20X16 with a 7 cm white mount ( was a b/w photo) with a plain 10 cm wood black frame... looked fantastic.. sold for $320.00 only cost me $160.00 so i was rapt.. the charity organisers were that impressed with how it looked and was presented, they gave me $80.00 back towards the cost of the frame.. i presume they want me to do it again next year...lol.. which i will...
the photo was of their local beach, which had a shark tower on it... and two seagulls sitting on the seat of the tower...
Good Luck...
