I'd have loved to turn this into a Maxfield Parrish scene (maybe a lake house)... but I ran short of time.

bye bye ...my last 2 credits...please full view for rain details.
3 layers for rain , severals layers too for the impact of the rain on the street,and others for reflection,i change the sky too( a good chalenge to pass through the leaves ), and change some colors of the leaves to simulate the autumn...

Half an hour later the original...

I had so much fun and I really like the final result.
Of course, full view gets better.
Feel free to comment how to improve this one, I am a beginner.

I love the look of this house, don't you? :)

It took a while to get the two images merged correctly along with the lighting. Almost removed the boy standing out front, but decided to keep him there in the end.

Pretty strightforward, I think. Spent about 2 hours on it, maybe a little more. You don't have to view full, but you will have the knowledge that you judged an entry without knowing its full potential weighing on your conscience for the rest of your life. Do you want really that? Also critique it or else your throwing away your opinion, as well as making me sad. sniffle

Who make this things? well i have my own theory. :-)

I finally found that photo of Grandma's school when she was in 5th grade. I remember her saying that was the year her class got to move to the new school house in town. I'm sorry it's gotten a bit discolored over the years. Oh, and she said she's the little girl by the teacher.

Hope this finds you well...
