Chicago's Magical Bean and the Oil Company Walkway

I really like the Bean shot, but I have some minor technical issues with it.

First is the steps are curved. Not sure if they're truly curved, but I don't think they are. Straightening out the barrelling of your lens might be in order.

Second, there's two reflections that bother me.... the green sign on the right, and what I assume is the Moon.

I'd also clone out the ghosts of moving people if at all possible.

Lastly..... the

sodium lighting. I tend to do everything possible to convert that sick orange color to white. Shooting raw will help a lot.

Maybe I'm being too picky.

Sparkles is being really picky today. Great image in #1. The orange color adds to the mood of the image, and I would not change it to white. JMO. I like the people in the picture as well, especially the girl on the very right looking up at the bean. The 2 things I would fix are to straighten the stairs and to take out the white dot.

Thanks to everyone that commented I am learning and trying new things ways to process things but what I dont understand why such the need for the perfect shot to clone this or that out , if its there is real life as in a sign or a reflection why such a huge need to clone it out ? I am not into photography to have the perfect shot because those opportunities in real life rarely come along IMO
