Removing lens flares from fluro lights

[Energy Architecture]

Hi there,

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to remove the lens flares created by the ceiling lights in the image below?

The issue is that I had to shoot a long exposure shot to blur the movement but not overexpose the image. I don't have an ND filer for this lens...

Thanks!

You could try a brush with a combination of reduced highlights and whites. However, those areas appeared to be completely blown, and I suspect you aren't going to really recover much.

In this image - why not crop the ceiling out? What do you want the view to see?

Good point! It really doesn't add anything to the picture.
