Took everyones advice and found a cloning tool in Picnik, a sub-set of Picasa 3, the photo management tool from Google that I use. I hate unknown people in my scenery shots, so the two couples that were on this beach aren't there anymore!
I would like to see the unedited picture, especially to see what you cropped out this really nice shot! I have a similar issue with a pic I took a while ago and will put online here (I'm very new here) and I might just try to use Picnik to edit the unknown interlopers ;) out as well!! Your picture is beautiful!
O.K. I'll post the original and you can see the people. Taking them out was easy. But so far, I've found that every shot is different and you have to play with each one to get it right.
Some manipulation with color, but the people are still in the shot.
Thanks much for putting up the original. You were absolutely right: the people in the shot would've been a distraction. Both versions are really nice shots, great color and you kept the pic close to the original in your editing. Very nice job!!
