Default Battersea Power Station

Took this from my desk a few months ago of Battersea Power Station in London. I love the sky like this and the sun setting just behind the power station. Unfortunately I got the reflection from the office lights in the shot.

Before:

I've finally had a chance to attempt my first PP session to get rid of the reflections. I cloned small areas to cover the two light areas but think the one on the right hand side needs more work. Also need to attempt to get rid of the water marks from the window in the bottom right of the picture but am not sure if I'm skilled enough at that yet. Any suggestions on how I can do it without losing the detail?

After:

Wow, first of all, nice shot! to get rid of those annoying marks on the window I'd recommend using the clone tool once more, but zoom in by a long way, and have your brush size quite small! you'll want to keep zooming out and then back in again to check it's looking ok though remember!

Cloning is OK, but take care not to repeat everything, you need to mix and match to randomise.
This was a low res version so cloning was limited, but you can see the effect ok here.
