This looks more like a painting than a photograph. There's such a thing as being too heavily processed.

This looks too over-processed to me. I like the composition, though.

The Final Piece of ...

Comment by GeneralE:

Originally posted by shareinnc: The idea is a good one, but the puzzle is so busy it took me a full minute to figure out where the last piece was going to go.

Actually, the missing piece was really the original subject; that small hole in the big picture. Maybe I should have left the piece out altogether.

As mentioned in the notes, I has strong lighting from a window. In an Advanced Editing challenge I would fix the tone with a gradient mask (similar to having used a graduated ND filter on the camera), but with Basic Rules I couldn't do that.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions!
