Here's the second photo painted with Corel PE4. This is just my adjustments to change the season to either earlier in the fall or spring time. I really like this photo and only added the various colors in experimentation with painting. I have a lot to learn yet and appreciate your submissions. Thank you.

P.S. The hardest part of this painting was cloning out the car and for sale sign on the tree.

I like that! I have a bunch of painter-type add-ins/presets/plugins for PS and LR, but I have never really bothered with them. I have always tried for the more realistic view, but maybe I will try my hand, one of these days... Thanks for sharing!

These are really something, Bloke. Love them both!

Thanks, - and thanks for your version (above) too. I have a few more of this set, but I just got back from shooting a wedding (not as *the* wedding photog, however!), and I had 4 different cameras producing video, plus shooting stills on the T4i, so I have a lot of uploading and editing to do... I will post another couple on a new thread later this evening, hopefully.

I am bowled over at the response these have received!

All the versions and edits have been beautiful and a lot of fun to compare and enjoy. Thanks so much, Bloke, for inviting us to play :)

Your great shed photos inspired us, Bloke. Post more any time so we can enjoy them, please.

I like both of these more than the originals mainly due to the surroundings to the right of the shed. I still prefer color because I find gray, peeling whitewash and rust a pleasing combination that compliments the look and wear of these types of buildings.

Ok, this was a slightly different angle, and I was able to clone out the cables and what was left of the more modern building to the left. Better?

I am not a fan of vertical (portrait-style) shots, since almost all my viewing is on screen. The good ones, I use for wallpaper backgrounds. So, I went more with a square format here. Also, I didn't want to lose any of that sky!
