Carriage House

[glorybound]

The early stages of what's currently on my board.

Side number one

Looking good, in the technical sense, but I'm not a huge fan of that composition at all to be honest.

For my liking, the house is cropped too much on the left, I think there perhaps is too much space given to the background and planting bed on the right. Lastly, I think the leading lines of the image also kind of makes it awkward because all the visual lines are pointing to the left of the image and ends up on the fence that is cropped out.

I think the lighting, colour palette and technically is excellent though!

I agree. The carriage house is the subject and the architect wants that side to be shown. To keep the eye from sliding down the screen I opened the garage door. Also, I desaturated the background and blurred it slightly. However, it probably didn't work as I had planed. I'll try a new composition.

Is there supposed to be grass in front of the last garage door, the one with the boat?

[glorybound]

Odd. But yes. At least per the drawings.

I closed the garage door and turned that fence around the corner. I'll post an update later today. I did email the architect about the drive ending short, but I haven't heard back yet.

[glorybound]

Some small tweaks, but I think it works!

[Nicinus]

Nice touch that there are some tracks in the grass from that garage. Is that easy in FP?

The column at the outmost right lacks base molding. (and the y all look slightly off center)

[glorybound]

The tracks were done in PS

Those posts are all off center. What do you mean by the "Y's"? I corrected that missing trim, thanks.

[glorybound]

Just got word from the architect and the drive should go all the way back . Apparently, they added the 4th bay and didn't update the site plan.

Great work, I think the composition is fixed, the building sits much better now.

[glorybound]

Thanks! Do you think it looks a little too hazy? Maybe sharper shadows?

[snivlem]

Yes, it may be a little bit "hazy", maybe check your levels in photoshop to see if it is a little washed out in terms of contrast.

I have to redo it again tonight, so I'll make sure it's spot on.
