Sure. But then you'd still see the legs.

Given that the whole point of the tripod in the first place is to solve 
the problem of holding the camera perfectly stationary in space while 
you shoot different angles, moving the tripod would seem to completely 
defeat that objective.

...which leaves this as the only sensible option. Of course, I've yet to 
discover a way of using the clone tool in a way that doesn't scream 
"this image has been cloned"...
