This Old House pictures

Apprentice Photoshop Pictures Contest - 6 image entries

Contest Directions: In this Apprentice Contest you are asked to photoshop this lovely image of an old house. The perfect fixer Upper! All it needs is a coat of paint, some windows and doors, a new roof...and some landscaping. Give this old house a face lift. Fix up the house and lawn, but keep it in it's original location. Pay close attention to the perspective and lighting. Entries must be in color, and no use of artistic filters in this contest. Let's show Bob Vila what we can do. You will have 3 days to submit your entry. Submitting it early will give you plenty of time to read the critique comments and edit your image accordingly. Typical FreakingNews entry guidelines also apply. You can find them here.
Thanks to JannaR for sponsoring this double jackpot contest and providing us with a nice old house to restore.

This House has been Bricked.

Going for realism rather than weird.

An Elegant Aspiration

I completely recreated this entire scene from scratch. I approached this project as though I were building an actual house (I even went to homedepot.com to search for supplies). I think I spent a total of about 10 hours on and off on this design. I hope everyone likes it!
