Smudge on lens messed up my photo

Is there a way to use photoshop to somewhat correct/restore my image? There apparently was a smudge on my lens which “clouded” the right portion of this image.

I’m no pro using channels, etc. in photoshop so if anyone can recommend a tutorial for me to walk-thru or offer some help that would be great.

Thanks in advance, and cheers!

Well, i’m sure you can do something about it. :slight_smile:

good luck.

play with the levels
bring down the blues since you are in natural light
burn the right side of the photo
and add contrast or bring up the blacks

no offense its the flare… no real affect of the smudge
