You do know that photoshop has a trial too? .. just like the one you've been re-installing for Lightroom..

There is some purple fringing in the grill area, the dash and windshield can stand some additional cloning, and the horizontal framing isn't helping.
Clone some more, do some local sharpening, crop, mat, and frame it.

I'm not really familiar with GIMP, other than it is free. It may have a cloning tool similar to PS's.

GIMP is a FREE and powerful editing tool with an excellent cloning tool. However, its biggest drawback is that it doesn't handle RAW images, only jpg, tiff and png. If you're looking for something on a professional level, your best bet is going to be cs.

Yep, it's a 1 year old thread, but it still contains a lot of useful information.

Unless you use a previous version - CS no longer exists.

It's now CC - Creative Cloud

There are several free Raw converters available to compliment GIMP - like Irfanview and Rawtherapee
