If the aesthetically objectional thing was archaeological, then I wouldn't clone it out, but a puddle on the modern gravel floor doesn't really count!
One of my colleagues in Southampton used to set an assignment which was to remove all the modern features from a photograph of a stone circle and replace the missing stones

Actually it looks a bit flat here than it did in Lightroom. I should up the contrast a little.

As an archaeologist I am always taking photographs to illustrate lectures or publications. Often, it has to be done on the hoof with minimal facilities or time. One problem has always been photographing inside dark contrasty places such as neolithic tombs where ideally some sort of off-camera multiple flash set-up would be used but neither time or equipment has been available. On a recent trip to West Kennett long barrow (near Avebury) I bracketed the exposure and then used Photomatix Pro to create a HDR composite. Although not a beautiful image one would frame and put on the wall, it has done a marvellous job (IMHO) of creating a useful image for lectures and the Arch Soc newsletter! The only thing that annoys me is the puddle on the floor which looks a bit harsh. I feel a session with the clone tool coming on...
Best wishes, Kris.

A second battery is very useful. A fully charged one will usually last a day happily so I stick one on charge as soon as the first runs out.
I have ended up with five batteries (I had two and my K20D came with three) but one of them developed a fault and as soon as you turned the camera on it started taking photos and playing up.
Best wishes, Kris.

Just to say thanks to Prieni for his tip. The photo has just made it as my fourth acceptance to the PPG.
