Touching up on Iteration

So after i completed the 8 iterations i chose 1 and decided to neaten the image out. I asked Nigel on any advice on improving my Iterations, he suggested using a smudge tool from corel, however at the moment i haven't got the program. In its place i used Photoshop to clean up the image using the smudge tool.
