You certainly could, in my opinion, fix it up nice , If it was a special image for me , I would use photoshop to increase the canvas size , giving space beneath the puck , then extend the ice using the healing brushes, and paint in the clipped piece of puck. It might take a few tries to get it right. ...Heck, I might even use the gaussian blur to smudge the stuff farther back a tiny bit more, and maybe even use the--- render / lighting effects / spotlight-- trick to highlight the boy yet again!
Finally , I would add a dark but not black frame by extending the canvas again evenly all around , which will separate the ice from the ultra-bright white of this kind of background , so that it doesn't look dim relatively speaking , either.
The masking thing though , is super useful for me ,,, birds on the water, or in the sky , can look relatively dark even when sufficiently lit, so even a subtle adjustment for this issue helps a great deal.
Always use your best shots , but , always give
greatest time and importance to the things and people that are important to you
( Oh, and if it was My boy , I would certainly put his name and the date and score on the frame )
