What Dreams May Come.....

What Dreams May Come..... by Nancy  Coyle

What Dreams May Come.....

This is my ” Dream Home” and has been for a rather long while now. It sits right across the street from my friends house, so I see it often.

Some find this home scary looking, but I find it intriguing….very much so.

    brilliantly fantastical – it has the fantasy feel to it – love the way the path leads you to the unknown -love the treatment – works really well.

    Thank you Deborah… I was on the fence about posting this on here. I love it but I so not sure if it was over processed… I’m just in love with that house!

    Beautiful, Nancy!!!!!

    Kind of dark mood….looks like winter…..no blue sky…......no green trees….dormant grass. I think the processing would be perfect if this were a summer original. Great color and contrast on the stonework. Green trees…..partly cloudy sky…..some blue…... would make it perfect!...... IMO.

    Cheers, Rany

    Rany: thank you!!!! I was intending a “dark mood” which is not everyones flavor but I wanted it to appear cold. I will have to take a picture again….maybe do a 4 seasons collage.

    plasmatwin: Thank you …happy you agree!!!!!

    Withering Moon: Thank you so much! ; )

    Beautiful house, excellent image. It almost looks like a vintage Christmas card – just need some tastefull decorations. The muted tones are great.

    Just walk down the drive, follow the road for a mile and take a relaxing sail in the bay. Yeah, I could live there.

  • Mel Brackstone

    Mel Brackstone, about 1 year ago

    I think the treatment you’ve given it has kinda made it a little creepy, but in a good way :) Looks like a great subject!

  • Damian

    Damian, about 1 year ago

    Great image! I think the level of processing really adds to the spooky mood of it. Makes me expect there to be a weird and disturbing family living there, or a lone serial killer! Would make a great story setting!

  • lightsmith

    lightsmith, about 1 year ago

    it’s beautiful. I’d love to go and shoot some IR version of it and turn it into something frightening! But what you’ve done here is to produce a magnificent shot that makes me want to move in!!!!!

  • Nancy  Coyle

    Nancy Coyle, about 1 year ago

    Jim Nooney, about 1 year ago

    Nancy…I really love this image. What processing did you do to get this look?

  • Nancy  Coyle

    Nancy Coyle, about 1 year ago

    Thank you Jim!!!!.... I use Lightroom for most of my editing…. I swear by Lightroom for getting just the right color that I have in mind. Then I used photoshop and added a bit of an afternoon glow and used the history brush on the house.

    I love it when you see the same thing time and time again… it becomes intrenched into your mind, so it’s double fantatstic that you’ve created such a wonderful piece of art on it! I hope you get that house one day… the power of visulaisation should be your driving force… Great trteatment and love the way you’ve presented the home here!

  • richiedean

    richiedean, about 1 year ago

    This house certainly has plenty of character Nancy, and the driveway draws you in. I like the muted tones and limited palette, suits it perfectly. Nice one!

  • Brett Foster

    Brett Foster, about 1 year ago

    What a fantastic place. I understand why you like it. You’ve made it look a little spooky here with a brilliant treatment but oh, so appealing. Love it to bits!

  • Holly Werner

    Holly Werner, about 1 year ago

    You have done a wonderful job with this. I like it a lot. Not scary at all in fact the bottom half reminds me of a house my grandmother lived in as a child. I love it. This is a wonderful picture.

  • Madison Ellis

    Madison Ellis, about 1 year ago

    J.K. York, about 1 year ago

    amazing processing, the tones are great!
    the house itself does look a bit scary though

  • Gill Duncan

    Gill Duncan, about 1 year ago

    This is the most fabulous house – I saw a similar one in (Georgetown) Texas a few years ago – but this one is much bigger – certainly is a dream house, Love the treatment also.

  • Brenda Anderson

    Brenda Anderson, about 1 year ago

    When we were designing our house, this was one of the styles that I really liked, with the turreted tower and the wrap around porch. We ended up with something completely different!

    This is just wonderful.

  • Joyce Dickens, IPA

    Joyce Dickens,..., about 1 year ago

    I love this one! Very well presented: nice composed shot, well framed by the stone entryway; the house itself is amazing – good focus, nice warm colors and just perfect lighting to accent all the fine details – I see this as a nice Autumn scene. well done!

  • lareejc

    lareejc, 2 months ago

    wow! what a gorgeous dream house! Mine too, now :) have you ever seen the inside? I would dearly love to see the inside; I’ll bet there are a fair amount of ghosts in that house; how old is the house? I love the effects you did to it. When I first looked at this photo it reminded me of some X-MAS cards I send out each year; old homes are so fantastically homey looking, especially when there is snow!

    lareejc

    Thank you for all you wonderful comments! I have never seen the inside. My best friend lives across the street and she has never been in there as well. I would LOVE to see it. The whole street is full of homes this grand …but this one has always stood out to me the most.

  • lareejc

    lareejc, 2 months ago

    Nancy – you are so lucky to just be able to look at this house from your best friends house! Is here house also ‘almost’ as grand? What a wonderful neighborhood to live in! Listen…when and if you ever get to see the inside, may I come too??
