Photoshop help please

[toasty]

Hi all, I took this photo recently and I really like it apart from the glaring blown window in the background. Would anyone be willing to have a stab at cloning this out in Photoshop? I've only got Lightroom and all efforts so far look completely bodged. I can PM a full size JPG or CR2 file if someone is willing to help.

I had a quick go - quite tricky to get it looking neat as the window has different colours on either side. There are loads of guys on here with more skill than me though! Happy to have a go at the real file if you don't get a better offer

Here's my attempt at cloning out the light, though am sure there are some far better guys and gals on here who can produce a far better result.

A win to Rich888 I'd say.

Thanks all. My attempts looked like Paul's.

Rich and Mike, I've sent PMs.

I have replied (although no offence if you use Rich as his is clearly better than mine!)

Hi Toasty,

Thanks for the comment, have sent you an email reply so if you would like to send the larger jpg over will give it a go. Haven't tinkered with pics for some time so am a bit rusty with cloning, blurring, etc.

And sorry for the late reply, have been out and about with the family at the Major Oak today taking photographs - well trying to, so if any turn out half decent will post them on here.
