@landie said: Brad. I can tell you enjoy this style of image and it pays off. To push them to the next level I'd say you should knock back the black line from the model a little to blend more with your entourage, but the big one for me is to fill the windows with life. They really are the eyes of a building and need to sparkle. Reflections / blinds / curtains, maybe a clear view through windows on other elevations. It'll make a massive difference if you get it right...which I'm sure you can. In what ways do you use Painter Brad. Its a fave of mine Cheers Thanks Landie, I appreciate your comments. You're spot on about the windows too. That's something I'm never quite happy with. I'll do some experimenting. As far as Painter goes, I absolutely love that program. I've had it for sometime now but haven't used it much until this year. I find it more and useful all of the time. I use it quite a bit for touch-up after running filters in Photoshop. I also use it ad some of the painterly effects to my renderings. I have a rather small tablet at this point, but I'd like to start using Painter to do more.

Thanks everyone for having a look. Your suggestions are definitely appreciated. majid, great tutorial, thanks.
