I have never mastered the clone tool, so that option didn't come to
mind for me. Rather, I would like to see less crop!
For me the only really disturbing element is the poster on the wall
above his head. With a little study I was able to resolve what it was,
but it was still distracting. If the crop were to include a bit more
of the poster (so you could see the top of it against the wall) then
it would be a fixed element in the picture rather than the beginning/
bottom end of a path of lightness leading the eye out of the frame.
And/or, can you just darken that poster a smidgen?
I think this is a nice shot BTW. The harshness of the light matches
the intensity of the cellist.

I'm struggling with this one. Took about 1/2 dozen of this young man
(the cigarette rather interested me), but the background was horrible
- not just passing pedestrians, but all sorts of junk kept getting in
the way, not matter what angle I shot from. Harsh light wasn't my
friend either. Even this shot (the least cluttered of the bunch) was
cropped severely to "clean things up" - at least a bit.
Does it work? I'd prefer more environment in the shot, but given
that's not possible what are your thoughts on this one:

I fear it may be one for the trashcan - an "almost but not quite".
Hope you enjoy. Comments encouraged.
cheers,
