Something is off, can you help me figure out what?

Not on-topic at all, but this seems like such a strange house to me, haha. The enclosed pool seems so grandious, and the rest of the house (including the outside portions) doesn't seem to match.

you do have a nice BIG wall clock stare at!!

In all honesty, a non-photographer would consider the initial post to be more than fine.

Here is how I played with it:

Selected the outdoor part in PS and used dehaze, upped vibrance and contrast, monkeyed with the exposure setting to darken that part just a bit.

^ With the dehaze, you were able to bring back the pool a lot, which is nice. The interior looks nice as well. I ended up warming up the exterior and adding clarity to the brick pavers. I will post what I have now, so I can scroll easy to compare...

I like what Peeb did with the patio area.

To me, that wall in the center of the photo is distracting; my eye is pulled one way and then the other. This is one of those cases where a pano would be really great. I want to see more of the interior and more of the pool. And what appears to be a refrigerator on the far right is annoying.

I agree, this would be great for a pano, but the final photo HAS to be 800 by 600 when I turn it on.

When you're getting paid for it, you do what you have to do. Given the parameters, it was as good as it could be. I think I'd probably crop out that reefer on the right, or clone it out, though.
