Legally, you don't need a written release to publish a photo in a gallery. That

The sticky wicket is that while it is unlikely anyone would object or
take any action, all our photos in the Pentax gallery are being used
to promote a product, when you boil it down.
I don't think that cloning out a single blob is excessive editing. That's just
part of the rendering process. It's no more excessive than a crop IMO. This is
the digital age, and digital tools are and should be used to enhance a
photograph. Ansel Adams used extensive and complex procedures in his darkroom
to achieve the look he wanted. A look that often didn't match the subject in
every way. You should be able to use the tools at your disposal. I would guess
that at least 30% of the photos in the Petnax Gallery have been digitally
modified in some minor way. I've seen evidence of bad cloning work in some
images.

I should read all the chatter my query precipitated before I answer this
but you've given me the um guts to send the photo in. I must
say I think I did a pretty good job of getting rid of the square blob.
