Skirrig Inn

[jujitsu1]

This is the Skirrid Inn near Abergavenny

After



Step 1
I used ps cs4e to turn the photo to black and white.

Step 2
I then Removed the sky and added the moon from a cd I have.

Step 3
Then I used the dorge tool to blackend the build down even more

Step 4
Then I highlighted the roof and areas that I thought the moon should shine on.

Step 5
I then added the cloud to give the sky some charachater.

Step 6
I then painted the windows yellow then blurred them to make it look more real.

How do you think It turned out and what would you of done to make it better

Thank you for looking

i like your treatment of this inn. but i find the facade of the inn too dark. maybe show more details.
i would have used lighting effects with the light type set to spotlight and set the ambience to negative 3 so front of building would have a little more detail.
but that's just my opinion.

I like it overall but there is just something about the moon that is not working for me.

I like it, however about a quarter of the way along the picture from the left, at the top there is what looks like a join in the sky image? Perhaps you could blend that as it is a bit distracting. The moon is a bit big and the overall feel is a bit blue. I would personally have gone for a smaller moon, a more B&W feel rather than blue, and i'd remove the 'join' in the sky. Other than those fairly minor niggles i really like what you did

Best wishes

Some seems a little off about the moon for me too. i think it might be the color. The overall photo has a bluish tone so the warmer tone of the moon is throwing me a bit. Other than that I like the overall effect.

The moon is the wrong color.
