Hi Chryslerchick,
This is not a bad image, just a little confusing, to my eyes anyway, it looks as if you have taken a photograph of just the roof apex part of a house?? is that how the house is? i've never seen it. However you do seem to be having fun and getting the hang of the new software. mono/sepia/edited in galleries ok there not perfect but i think Let me know when you get the Perfect pic .

I had a look at your galerie, you sure are getting the hang of the software and image editing, may I make just one suggestion, don't overdo the use of any one filter, most of the images display the soft blured vignette, I know that I went through a faze where I used all and every filter and effect under the sun, but I also learnt a lot as well, hopefully it is now out of my system, "but I still like playing around to see what effects I can get"
You have some lovely images on your gallerie.

I reckon Patrick summed up my own thoughts here.

Very nice, intriguing and artistically presented image. The style is kinda reminiscent of an illustration from a book of fairytales.

Hi chryslerchick,

It doesn't look like an ugly house to me (unless some other view of it reveals something really ugly). I would say that it is a cute country house surrounded by very nice nature.

While I like your photo a lot, I disagree with the blur/foggy post processing effect. The nature around looks very attractive and nice as I previously said, so I think the entire photo should be viewed without any blurry/foggy effect.
While the B&W version suits photos like that, I also think that the color version would also be suitable for showing to the max the full of living nature.


Regards

Re: the ugly house in wales

thanks for your comments they've been very helpfull. i did do this in a sepia effect to but it was before the blur effect posts so it was overdone i will leave the blur button alone 4 a while l.o.l

Hi,
Just another house!? the color image is great, I like your aproach to try to take/produce something different, I do try to do that myself, it does not always work, but I try anyway. I was not criticiseing that, it was the overdoing of the blur vignette effect I did not like, also the image was confusing to me. As for giving a potted history, it is nice to be given a little information on a place you have never seen, keep it up.

I am with George on this one, I really dont like the soft focus effect.

That said, I LOVE the colour version you have posted, I think it is much better than the mono. Looks like a magical house, not an ugly house!
