Fisrt attempt at some image cloning
Discussion
Very good for a first attempt.
Casually looking at the photo I probably wouldn't have noticed the cloning, but since you pointed it out I did start looking for the cloning bugs which creep in and a couple of things could do with a little tweaking.
The building looks straight-on to the camera, so the roof and wall/floor line run horizontally across the picture. Following the bottom of the building from the right shows your grass on the left should come up higher, which has caused some problems with the window spacing. Bottom left window it is a bit far down (and has one missing next to it, groups of six.) And the middle window, one in from the left doesn't line up with the windows next to it.
I get the feeling there is a drain pipe missing on the left, try select, cut, flip and paste the one from the right hand side so you can match the colour change in the bricks.
I don't mean to pick holes as I'm sure very few people would have noticed. Just things I saw while intentionally looking for them.

That was my first thought - but if you simply level the roofline the car will slope to the left. Nothing a bit more Shopping can't fix I expect I'd have left the tree (and saved having to build the west wing!)
Blimey, you're patient.
I'd have cut the car out and put it in a new background.
Good on you for sticking with it though. When you're doing stuff like this, make sure you check for pattern repeats & finishing touches after.
Have a little look at the lawn where it meets the building on the left and just be mindful of alignment of the balcony / stone work at the top left. There's a little faded image left in the top left too by the looks.
I'm being picky I know and I apologise, but you've done the hard stuff very well.

I'm not thinking about rotating the image, I meant cloning the grass a bit higher on the left, maybe covering the first 3 rows of bricks so it lines up with the ground on the right hand side.
