This is my last one, 8 hours of work in photoshop, the final resolution is 4900 pixels height for a print.
that's the image they gave me:

The perspective of the tower appears to be wrong in relation to the building on the left.

yes, the perspective of the eiffel tower looks very wrong!
i hope you correct this.

the building on the left side looks very good!

@nisus I took some images of eiffel tower on the net and composed them. I needed a resolution of 5000 pixels height and we all know there are none of such detail free on the net so I had to take some pieces from here and there and compose them to have a good resolution eiffel tower. The problem was that the images I found (the best one) were shot with a fish eye lens so the eiffel tower looks a little bit distorted, not my fault, it was the only choice other then going to paris and shoot eiffel tower myself :D
I think I answered all the questions here, that was it :)
thanx for the critique,

The issue is Vanishing Points.

If both the building and the tower are vertical then perspective says their vertical lines should be converging.

In this case, the tower appears to be leaning the WRONG way.

Try flipping the tower, or rotating it so that the top points toward the middle of the picture a bit, rather than off to one side.

I hope that made some sense?

Beyond just the perspective issue though...I think the tower needs to be reconstructed so that it doesnt appear to be TWISTING as well. Each section of the tower as you go up seems to have a different set of vanishing points.

know about the perspective lines, that's the last time I'm doing a matte of 5000 pixels without having some good references and not some small pictures on the net...
eh, good lesson for the future :D
