Is it obvious?

Last weekend I took this photo, but at that time I couldn't do anything about some people that, to me, where distracting. I later processed it and removed them. Is the editing too obvious? Can you tell where the people were if you didn't know that it's been processed?

Here's a link to the photo before I removed the people from it.

Thanks for your comments!

The brick on the wall looks a little smooth where he was removed and there is a bit of pattern on the ground, but otherwise a pretty good job. The casual observer would not notice it unless blown up, but a photographer might.

I would not have noticed the small head.

Thanks Saralonde! I see the same you see about the wall and the pattern, that's mainly why I asked. I also asked some friends of mine but they didn't notice until I showed them both photos.
How could I make it better? Is there any specific tool in PS that I could use? I'm really new to post processing!

Thanks again!!

I did see it right away. The area has a blurred look about it. I would try to get a copy of the bricks from the upper right there and paste them over the wall. That other area at the base of the building is just going to have to be played with until you can get it to be less noticable.
