Thanks Techo mate & I agree about the tree, some things are invisible until someone mentions it:-)

My favorite shot for this challenge from your trio of pics. I very much like the overall tone and character, would only suggest a clone out of the trees sneaking in near the left edge of the frame. -Techo

No need to shoot Raw Jano as I always make sure me WB is correct............ I should have said nearly always........... Well sometimes I do............. Or when someone tells me the WB is off:-)hehe

If you took it in RAW Rod, you could reprocess it to another color setting. Funny... jano

Thanks Girls:-) Yes Carole you did get rid of the blue better than I did, I will have another play with it. When I tried to get less blue the blue the slider went towards yellow which didn't look good, is there a way of just getting less blue without getting more of another colour? CAT'S GUESS WOT I DID!!! The camera white balance was set on bleeding florescent:-) After reading your comments I had a look & thought wot a dope......Getting old can be very interesting:-) I will call this challenge me Blue period:-)

Rod - I tried some adjustments on this photo as well and just cannot get any color adjustments - other than it naturally desats the house and leaves the sky naturally (which I think is pretty cool btw). Definitely a wierd color enhancement the cam took here. If you would like, I could work with it... I think that or a nice b&w would work well here. jano

Rod, I messed around with your picture in PS "Elements" using the "Enhance">Adjust Color section and by reducing the blue a few times and lightening the pic overall, most of the blue in the house was taken out. You could just select the house with the magnetic lasso and adjust only the house too. Here's what I came up with. I'll delete it as soon as you want. CJ http://www.pbase.com/cj_in_ca/image/62592930

Thanks Cat:-) Yes I noticed that too & didn't know how to get rid of the blue. It seems the more I tried to lighten the house with the dodge tool the more blue it would get. I also tried the shadows & highlight tool.

Rod, Fun image. Nicely seen and the cars too! Just curious, Are you processing your photos any differently? I am seeing a bluish tint to all your photos from last 2 days, as if the white balance is off. -Cat

Thanks Brent:-) Yes it's not my cuppa tea either I don't know how people can live in such big houses, this is far bigger than how I composed it. Even us ordinary people are getting bigger & bigger houses with too many bathrooms & living rooms, it seems all designed to make us a lot less social. Shame init. Did a rotate & reposted.

This is pretty ugly to me Rod. It gives you the feeling you will be attacked by a dog if you would up that driveway and get too close to their precious cars. That dark cloud especially, adds to the forbidding nature of this photo. You may want to straighten this one a bit mate. Good shot Rod.
