Hello Guys,

 

This is a project that I rendererd for a client without the grass and photoshop-work.

 

Now I want to make something different for my portfolio. This version is made with plants and grasse in photoshop.

What could be better.

 

Next one I will try to make with 3D-plant, flowers and grass.

I want to compare the workflow and results of the 2 methods..

i did a little quick demo PSD for you to show a couple tricks with adjustment layers and masks that can make an immediate improvement.

 

After that i'd say to look at framing and cropping the image differently, and about contact shadows at the base of the building.

Hello Dave,

 

Thank you for looking in to this. About the suggestions.

 

-The grass - the desaturation is ok, but because I like the purple sky, I will try to make it desturated and towards blue, purple.

-The windows a little brighter, looks good. But I am afraid that it takes some of the "mystery" away from the picture.

- I will give it more contrast. Like you suggested, but i will make it a little less you suggested, because, I have a more darker picture in mind.

- The cropping is interesting - I am thinking about 2 options: option 1 is make it wide-screen so 2wide 1 high

or option 2 is rerender it again with the upper floor more visible.

 

Thank you for your advice,

 

I would love to hear some more opinions and critics from you and other viewers.
