I like it!!! I think it would be pretty easy to get rid of the letters in the middle but I think it gives it some depth personally. I would keep it but I know how much it is killing you to keep them there..

Clone tool and select right next to the spot... Once you have that completely finished I normally run over with the spot healing tool and clean it up a bit. Just a thought if it is really killing you to get it out.

I don't like this redo. The other one was way, way better.

Agree about the noise reduction effect, will do a lot better if you apply the suggestions made by glad2badad

Comment by glad2badad:
I know you like to use a good dose of noise reduction...just a thought since this challenge is advanced ruleset; before running your noise reduction make a duplicate layer, then run noise reduction on the top layer. Use an 'eraser' brush and bring back the detail on Rider. The loss of some detail there makes the noise reduction more obvious and makes it look a little soft. I agree with Marko on the thing on the door...but it may be too large to remove without running into rule infractions.

Overall a nice photo. :-)
