I know I should avoid distracting areas in the background, it is always a hard decision wether to clone all the way out or not. I try to keep the final picture as close to the original as possible though sometimes it could mean "less than perfect" results BTW in this case my attempts to clean the background weren't too successfull so I raised white flag
