The Realtor

lovely work Mel… it really has a aged feel through the clothing, house & fence etc as well as the textures . and so applicable at this point in time when we are hearing of more people now in Aust loosing their houses

quite effective!

lovely Mel, the treatment is fantastic

Marvelous…..love the narrative and technique.

Shades of the Bates Motel, Mel!
I love the atmosphere here.

Fabulous

Fantastic Mel… very sinister, not sure many realtors would apprectiate the sentiments ;-P

Wow! That processing is sensational! Lovely moody look – intriguing story

Great work you. Luv the Fake DR :-)

Wow, I would so love to love in that house. I’d sit and wait for passers-by to ring my bell, then suck the blood out of ‘em! The guy in your shot was lucky cause I don’t like dudes with bowler hats.

Great shot, way melancholy processing… so haunting. And yeah, sinister!

Cool work, Mel :)))

This is brilliant Mel – really has a cinematic feel to it accentuated by the title and the historical costume. Just such a good idea stunningly executed.

You haven’t been watching any Hitchcock films recently have you? Psycho? The Birds?...

Somehow I don’t think I want to walk through the house with that guy – wonderful storytelling image. Great spark for the imagination of writers!

WOW! Incredible shot…and incredible techniques used on it! Love that old timey feeling! =)

Hitchcock and Bates motel feel for sure. More of the Mel magic.

Excellent creation …

looks fantastic

Thats cool Mel. Lovely texture in this.

Fab editing

Nice effect Mel

Beautiful work Mel

Love the textures and processing, fantastic work.

Oh my lord…not a single thing in the world would entice me to place my hand on that gate and swing it open…not for all the cherry beer in Belgium!

I view images as a writer, not a photographer, so forgive me if I don’t mention technique or framing :-) The best comment I can give is when an image makes me hear stories being whispered in my ear, and this just won’t stop. Fabulous!!

love the tones, love the textures, love the fence, love the house, basically … just love it!!

Yikes! I wouldn’t walk through that gate either! Very evocative – Brilliant.

Great processing Mel…beautiful!

Maybe it’s just me…but I am getting a truly eerie spoolky ghostly vibe from this image! Wonderful treatment and composition but it really speaks of many different things…

I love the technique applied to this picture, Mel.

Superb!!!!!

Great job!

fantastic mel, love the gritty old style to the shot, very scary lol, well done great stuff

“It’s quite nice inside – although it’s been empty for a few years.

How did I miss this???? amazing work Mel!!!

one word…wow!

Just absolutely stunning. Could also be called “The Repo Man” in reaction to our world’s current situation :-) Well done

I was wondering if you would consider adding this or anything else that might fit into the “Scary Are Us Group.” We would love to have anything that you might like to share. Thank you!!
SCARY ARE US GROUP

I love this image. It’s like Norman Bates’s dead Mum’s house behind the motel in Hitchcock’s movie ‘Psycho’. I’d like to know where the house originally was or still is?

The crows flying around the turret could be from Hitchcock’s other movie ‘The Birds’.

I’d never have guessed it was an Australian house. It looks American carpenter gothic and it has no balconies which is unusual for Brisbane. I think I like the image so much because you’ve manipulated to give it the exact emotion I’d have given it if I’d been able. Fences or no fences I’d not be able to stop myself exploring inside but I’d go at night and I’d have to take someone with me.

Your techniques are & processing are really outstanding. Wonderful work here, love the old american gothic feel here :))

Awesome combination of images & processes…. Instant Fav!! :o))

Yet, another stunning version … Your work has such soul & so does this house.

Beautiful work…

Fantastic, What a great Shot
