I have just spent 2 hours trying to remove it and keep the photo looking great but my photoshop skills are minimum. I was a believer that if I coundnt take the photo properly first it isnt good enough. Had never used photoshop other than converting to black and white.

Of couse I know how to control it so it's only a matter of artistic placement, that photo shop can control. I like to use the lens flare when I can to help give a graphic presence to the light.
