Cia, I agree the easiest fix is leaves, but you may need to rebalance the dark values in your composition. A more radical fix is to mask the flowers and take out the whole background with Mr. Clean magic eraser which should give you a close to white surface to start over with. cheers, Peter Parker<br>
