I have a site photo with two parked cars, a wheelie bin and a dog crate in the patio that make the proposed green zone read cluttered. The client, [client=Mark Patel], will see the image and assume we want to remove his parking space. I'm worried if I remove the cars he'll ask where he'll park. Tell me the safest retouch: what to remove so the green space reads clearly for the proposal, what I must leave as evidence of parking, and a single sentence I can include in the presentation to avoid the parking fight.
when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.
