Need an expert to photoshop and tune up a picture

[mitkoto]

Hey Guys,

I am not sure if this is the right place for my request, so please excuse me if I'm wrong.

I have a picture that I want to make it look little better, to remove a few things from it and give it a better and more artistic look for bigger print out as I want to put it in a picture frame.
This is a surprise for a friend of mine and it is his native house.
If someone can help me, I will be glad to pay for the favor.
Please email me at wh@mitko.me

Regards,

M

If I were you people I wouldn't post your e-mails here b/c of forum bots spamming. Also post the picture here as a small version to see what can be done.

Here are two of a few which I like the most. One of them has more complete elements like the tree, but it also has this obituary on the power pole which must be removed. I was wondering what filtering would give any of them more artistic style for the purpose: bigger framed picture. May be black/white or sephia .. I dont know unfortunately I am not creative at all ..

I dont worry about that, this email account is alive today, and dead tomorrow ..

At least can anybody say which one looks better for portrait purposes? By that I mean to print out the image as poster size and frame it..

Thank you!

Here are a couple of possibilities (not meant as a 'final' version, just quickly messing around to give you some ideas):

Here's my try. Giving you an idea(s). A soft sepia look & a slight bump in contrast.

i might not be understanding correctly, but what do you mean there's an 'obituary' on the pole?

Hi,

There was one on the pole on the first photo, but I removed it with photoshop ..

I like alot that the pole on the first pic is removed. Still cant decide which picture is better for making it poster size, framed.. black/white or colored?
What do you guys think?

the 2nd one, it shows more of the house and in colour would be good with a little boost :thumbup:

I'm not an expert, just like to muck around every now nd again

 

[mitkoto]

I think, I like the first one better. It has more elements and it looks more open if I can express myself that way .. The last dilemma to me is if it looks better black/white or colored.. On one hand the black/white brings nostalgia, and gives an eternity. On the other hand the colors give the feeling of a pine smell and makes the picture more alive...
I really cant decide.. Please help me here .
