you could also feather your magic wand selection with a 3 pixel feather, that'll get rid of some of the black and leave smoother edges.

edit: better yet, go to select.... color range.... and from the drop down menu, select shadows. this will select the "people" in the picture too so you'll have to deselect them yourself... then feather with a setting of 3 and edit...cut then save as .gif.
