I went to the Cape mid May. It was cold, gray and very windy the whole time. There is a stretch of cottages all in a row and all looking the same. Called, you guessed it, Days cottages. since the light was just gray, and I wanted to photograph them, I tried this...find edges, fool around with opacity and saturation.
Carole, I really like everything about this except for the sky - I'm wondering if you could do a quick mask on it and blend it out just a bit? The rest of the image REALLY works for me - you might want to think about clipping that right hand side a bit so it ends right before that larger roof line begins.
Very appealing, Carole! You took a gray, unpleasant day and made something artistic of it! :) I have a similar image of some apartments with which I did a similar treatment and I still like it to this day. I think Julie made some very good observations/suggestions.
