Description

A huge thanks to all who commented and favourited my last image as it got me to 5th in the favourite image charts an 8th in the favourite artists chart. I also find myself at 26th in this weeks favourite artists chart which is amazing as I haven't posted anything for nearly 3 weeks. "Renderer's Block" can be very frustrating!!! This image was produced over 2 weeks ago but I just hadn't had the confidence to post it as I thought there was something missing. However, after 2 weeks of unsucessfully trying to identify what was missing I have given up and decided to post it ... as is. Basically it's meant to be an old house by a lake and I wanted it to be a stormy night with the mist rolling in. The house has been painstaking cut out of an old photo and had minimal 'damage' applied to it by me in Photoshop, ie, battered roof rafters, broken windows, damaged panels etc. Enjoy ... Tony :-) PS: Also a big thanks to everyone who sent emails to me recently concerned about my whereabouts, it's nice to be missed and rather heartwarming to receive messages like that.

Excellent work, Tony! This is an amazing image, and so professional--I just don't see that there's anything missing from it at all! Way to go, and I'm SO glad to see you back to posting, as I did wonder why you were commenting, but not uploading anything!

A magnificent composition in which the mood you've set for this old house is for me a reminder of a film by Alfred Hitchcock famous for its gloomy atmo and heavy suspense. Excellent work and postwork!

Missing? There's something missing from this image? Maybe the folks that lived in this house? That's all I can think of that would be missing, LOL! The image is fabulous just the way it is! I think you've gotten all the elements you were trying for, and you've gotten it perfect! Love the choice of colors here, too!
