blending using photoshop

[wind30]

done using one RAW file, dual processed. The shot is taken indoor with natural light from the window.

Does the post processing look natural/good or very fake?

Hi wind30.

I think you did well with your post processing !

If I may be critical .... I don't think the lighting is correct (tell me if I am wrong here).

Maybe the top blinds (or what it is) and the left wall should not be so bright ?

As in.... what is the light source direction ?

Does this make sense ?

Cheers
