Thank you. Very keen observation. I am afraid I hadn't noticed the "cup". Anyway, I wouldn't know how to "get rid" of it, It was quite dark in the early morning. I was concerned with getting the central details sharp, and supported by the surrounding. Hadn't notice the cup at all. But, in my humble opinion, I think it rather adds to the pic, in this case, although I wouldn't want a plastic up at the foot of a tree.
