      Thanks for sharing your experience. It's pretty great to have specific suggestions to go back and work on. And techniques to add to my bag of tricks. πŸ˜„

          looks great... the background fit the drawing well.. although I might suggest... taking your grass texture and using the match color tool to make it not so green as it looks kind of out of season...

          although with lawns nowadays it could easily be so green in fall...

          great job making it look like a photo of a real perspective...

            I faded down some of the saturation in the grass, trees, background, and bushes. And made some color balance adjustments to the grass. I think they were a bit overblown - in the context of the fall colors, but also in relation to the house they took your eye away from the house a bit, I think.

            Thanks again for the tips, everyone. Very helpful.

                I dulled the background one more time and added a little noise overall - I think it ties it together nicely.

                Thanks for the thorough review πŸ˜„

                  Oh, and I added a warming filter overall, too.

                      last changes for today... this time for sure! πŸ˜„

                      I removed the warming filter on the sky and dialed it back a little for the rest. James and others, thanks for the picky eyes. πŸ˜„

                        I think this latest version really pops the house and looks less "cartoony". Thanks so much for your input, friends. πŸ˜„

                              Oops, somehow I missed the updates on this. Great work!

                              One thing I would tweak - put a soft blur on the tree line across the lake. Not a lot, but some. If you take a look at the fidelity of the detail on the rooftop and check it with the tree line, you'll see what I'm talking about. It looks like the background is more in focus than the house.

                              Looking good! When do I get to move in?
