There's also a thin white triangle top left that could be cloned over.
Notwithstanding the previous issues, both of the flat versions have lost all context of it being 'art on a wall', so you have different expectations and additionally, the crops now offered, and their effect on compsosition, plays a bigger part - e.g. they aren't what the artist painted.
That seems overly negative, but please do consider them as my thoughts on this rather than criticisms.
