The day I met death

This is an interesting composite, however I noticed the original reflection on the Beatles hub caps is of a sunny blue sky day. Hopefully that is a constructive observation for you.

Obvious editing ruins this shot for me. Two apparent light sources are not throwing any shadows and the only shadows in evidence are coming from light sources not in the photo. As was already pointed out, the chrome wheels indicate a completely different time of day. And the wall outside the window would not be even slightly lit by the light coming from inside the room, so that halo is weird. The flagpole really looks like a superimposed arrow pointing to or away from the car. Needs more effort.

It was half an hour before sunset, but yes the hub caps could use some tweaking. bts material (lighting diagram/original images, ...) here http://petridamsten.com/the-day-i-met-death/
