My friend noted that the left side of the photo where the yellow colors are distracting and I agree. How would I remove that without cropping (IMHO cropping would make the photo look too tight).

there are ways to remove the yellows, look at your hue/sat tool in photoshop. another tool i use, all the time, for situations like this is a photoshop action called shaytech's color fringe remover it was designed to remove color fringing, but it works beautifully in situations like this.
First, use the lasso tool to select the general area you want to work in. After that, you can probably just lower the saturation altogether. If you want to work more precisely, after you limit the boundaries with the lasso, use Image->Adjust->Replace Color to change the yellows any way you want.
Richard sort of beat me to it. Because the objectionable yellow area is surrounded by areas of low saturation and certainly not yellow you can use a very inaccurate selection and then some color targeted tools to fix.
I just made a rectangular selection which included the yellow patches:
Once I did this, I tried two different approaches with slightly different results.
First I tried selective color to darken the "yellows":
And got this:
Alternatively, I took the image to LAB and applied a curve to demolish yellow:
Rutt, at times like these I can just sit here, read again and again what you're doing before I understand it, and when I understand what it is, realize that there's so much to learn. Thanks for your time in explaining stuff like this to us over and over again.

I'm worried cloning may make the photo look funky.

hey -
it's the best $10 i ever spent.
in anycase, i first gave you a free way to do it, too. again: use the hue/sat tool, decrease the colors you want only.

FWIW, the yellows don't bother me in this shot.
Cheers,
