Finishing touches

[Atlantis]

Almost there but some things still bother me. Despite carefull patching I do have some unwanted textures that look like clonemarks. I reached the stage where trying to fix those only seem to make them look worse.

Great clean up Atlantis on this difficult restore Atlantis!
I wonder if the spots in the background could branches with white blossoms?
A possibility to smooth out the "cloning" marks is to use a smoothing filter over the area of the boy's shirt.

One thing that jumped out at me was the position of the boys eye, I believe it to be positioned a little lower?

A toughie for sure. First, I think it would be ok to crop somewhat. I'm just guessing at the dimensions here.
Second, the pic needs more contrast.

There were four pictures for this family. they are all studio photographs with backdrop only. No branches or props like some studio portraits.

I'm a newbie, so no status for a critique.  Just a couple of questions:
1. Ears.  The left ear seems visible in the original but has disappeared in the final.  On the right ear, there is a semicircle that has been included as part of the right ear.  I think this may be an artifact and not part of his right ear. 
2. Background.  This is a studio shot, so, as someone suggested, the background is probably floral wallpaper--not real branches, etc.  Might be possible to mask the kid and develop the wallpaper as a separate layer.  This would be a lot of work and maybe poor return on investment.
