If you really like this picture, why not *fix it*? It sounds like it's just
this one item that is out of position (too much parallax) relative to the
rest of the image. You could move the location of that item to fit within
the easily fusible range of the rest of the image. If done carefully, no one
would realize that you had re-arranged things. How difficult this might be
is determined by what is hidden behind the object in question, as moving it
will reveal that hidden area. It's still possible to fix it.
