Here are a few homes I am sending off tomorrow. Just my bread and butter work.

All good other than the way too intense blur on the people in some shots

[glorybound]

Yeah, the client wanted people, but he wanteded them blurred out, so they don't look like zombies. People are difficult to pull off for closeups.

Weird clients/weird demands = not much you can do then...maybe a skateboarder?

The glass in the windows is amazing. Can you share the technique in achieving this beautiful result?

These look nice. Only thing that bugs me are the blues. the sky has too much cyan in it and you seem to be missing the blues in the shadows. I made a quick test with one of the images in PS with autocolor and it seems to make the whole image look more natural.

Thank you! I actually pieced all the houses together in one row and pasted it in the reflection. I added some blue, as well.

I add blue to the shadows and yellow to the highlights. I'll see what autocolor does. Are you talking camera raw (auto)?

I used it just straight into PS. For me at least, the blue from the sky seems to be disconnected from the rest of the image and it makes it look a bit off. It's hard to pin point the time of day in some of them. As a friendly advice, try and spice things up with multiple skies. I took a look on your site and most of the images seem to have the same sky. You can add a lot of value with the correct one depending on the composition or intended mood. And use real photo references in case you are not doing so. Pick ones with the same time of day and similar lighting. We often spend so much time in max or PS that our eyes tend to slack off. This is a great tool to match the contrast, shadow intensity, green values with the correct ones. Anyway enough from me, you have a lot of great projects, keep them coming!

Yeah, I keep something if it works. I use the same HDRI on pretty much all of my exteriors. For these, I replaced the sky in PS. I don't like the blue sky with fluffy clouds, which is what you get with stock photos. I'll have to spend some time looking into some excellent libraries. Thank you for the advice.
