This is my attempt

The aim of this photo is to make the statue realistic and the real objects outside the window artistic.
I think my problem is white balance. Maybe I'm wrong.
Suggestions welcomed, appreciated, and thanked in advance.

Excellent, MMC. I have only Elements 12. Would you mind sharing how you accomplished your version? Thanks.

I am sorry, I do not remember all steps. I was using Photoshop Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, History brush to remove changes from outside, Topaz denoise plug in and sharpened with Unsharp mask.

I magic select tool . selected the quick select tool and selected the bust only . use the remove color cast . that made the must look more natural white marble .. Then a slight hue adjustment.
Then I did a cntrl J .. then Filters - Other - High Pass
Then i make an adjustment on the photo until I see color, then back off .5 or so .. then I select each Over Lay, Soft light, etc to see how the photos looks sharpness wise . When I am happy I Select layer then flatten ..
Then I select View - Grid then CTRL T Then grab the corner of the photo and adjust to the right or left as needed .. so it aligns with the grids. when you are happy . click the green arrow . then I use Crop tool to remove the outer edges that are created when you adjust the photo .
Hope that helps .

Thanks for all your work, MyPharo. I tried "remove color cast" but will try again. Do you have a "high pass filter" in Elements? If so, please tell me where it is. Also, I know how to adjust for horizontal lines. Please tell me how you adjusted for vertical lines. I appreciate these tips very much.

High Pass filter in Elements 12
Filter > Other > High Pass...
