Oh boy! I can't imagine the "rich" fella on the left building his home just a few feet from a place like that, but you never know. Just because it's so unlikely, makes it interesting. Shu

I heard that Dorys!!!!! LOL!

As for the grass, I had the same thought too. Even though that's the way it was, since you're not opposed to digi-manip, I'd brown out the po' folk's lawn. Real or not, the tree looks freaky though and makes it look digi-manip whether it is on isn't. And how's that.... I coined a phrase, "digi-manip" and managed to get it in 3 times upon first usage! LOL! Good concept BTW. ~ Lonnit

Mary Ann,
Actually, the lawn out front of the run down house looked like it is shown. I can't explain it. I just cloned a little more from the left to make it blend better.

Jim, while you're manipulating.... Would the poor house have that lush green lawn in front?

Col,
I understand your comment - except that the tree is actually on the house as shown, It fell over from the back center of the yard behind the house, with the house blocking view of the tree trunk et al. There was no tree cloning done.

What if the people in the posh house are renting & the people in the poo house own it:-)

Nice idea like the pic except for the tree on the shack hanging in no man's land.

Cheers

I was hoping they were your neighbors -- the ones on the left, I mean. :-)

Rich,
This is a composite of two houses which are about 4 miles apart. I took them on the same day and blended them together.
