Should the three lights at the top right hand corner be cloned out? I couldn't make up my mind.

I like it as is, but agree about the lights. What about also cloning out the left-hand padlock (or whatever that bright rectangular object may be)?

I thought about that then thought it was insignificant. Not looking for perfection. :)

I would.

So would I. The shot is worth some effort.

And I would not.

The image (very, very fine BTW) has certain rhythm, because of all the stairs and their reflections. The lights add to it, and take nothing away.

I'm split… Those three lights don't grab my attention so much that they need to be erased. On the other hand, cloning them out will bring it closer to perfection!

Great work as usual Stamper.

If the 3 lights are pissing you off get rid of them ( or darken them down a bit ). The choice you make will be different from another forum member's decision - which is cool otherwise our work would all look the same.

Bob has a point about the padlock.
