I was so focused on the center key element in this image that I was able to accomplish one of the best dunderhead post editing mistakes of my illustrious career if you can call it that. To me there are three critical things wrong with this image...can you spot them?

Hmmm, one idea: Since you duplicated/reversed the left/right sides, you now have shadows going both ways.

When you use the quote button next to a post the quote is created for you. You just type before or after the quote.

The shadows on both the right and left sides are due to the "studio lighting" that seems to abound. Lemme guess. Vegas?

Anyway, there is an ample amount of chromatic aberation possibly due to PP. Visible noise + grain is evident in teh water and the sides of the columns. There is something wrong with the lights on either side (look at the corners). And maybe you just went a little crazy with the color saturation. Purple doesn't really cut it ;)

Don't know how to quot, but to quote, every post has two buttons at the top - Report Post and QUOTE. If you press the QUOTE button on the post you want to quote, a new post will open with the quoted text. Add your thoughts/words and press POST.

Yes I think color is definately one of the issues.

The biggest anomaly I see is that the yellow light is on the wrong side of the cloned-in pillar on the right side. Should have pasted in the entire left side scene without flipping it, then taken the statue itself and flipped it and pasted it back in.

One thing I see, that I doubt is what you are talking about, is that it looks eerily as if there's the face of a cat in the fountain middle right :-)

Check out the column just to the left of the center key element at the top of the column compared with the one to the right.

You cloned part of the horse with the column.

Hehehehe I stand corrected. Poor cut and paste job dude! Hehehehehe ;)
You can see the white line running down the side of the column and it's too damn precise... simialr to a cut and paste job ;)
