    Fantastic. Best use of photoshopped sky ever. Don't let the fact it's snowing stop you using sunny blue sky and fluffy white clouds :rotfl:

    Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.

    There was obviously an estate agent about taking photos :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    This one is a bit of an estate agent fail, rather than an awful house. Picture 8 in particular shows it off...

    To me picture 7 and, even more so, picture 8 translate into "Estate agent doesn't even want to show viewers round the house until they put the price down" and is trying to put them off at the outset.

    It was doing that here this morning with no estate agent needed!

    Those BEDROOMS though - you wouldn't want to wake up in either of those with a hangover unless you had sunglasses on the bedside table :eek:

    I think all of the house is OK, and the bedroom d!cor mere froth, but the massive electricity station across the road might well put some people off.

    I don't see anything wrong in principle with Photoshopping the sky. Even in our climate, the odd sunny day still happens.:cool: However, I think a border is crossed when something normally visible is removed.....

    When I Photoshopped the front photo of my last house,I just improved the colours and the sky. I had to stand in a certain place to shoot it though, or my neighbour's hideously orange 'bay windowed' VW caravette would have come into view. I'd have preferred a longer shot and the chance to photographically annihilate the VW, but the truth was that it sat there as a permanent feature, so there was no way I could get a shot of their garage door to replace it with anyway! :rotfl:

    I had an estate agent do that once. We drove for 40 minutes to view this house and when we pulled up there was a proper full size electricity pylon towering over this row of houses. It was in a field at the back fence of the 75 foot garden. It was mahoosive. The base of it was no more than about 20ft from the fence line. You could hear it humming from half way down the garden.

    The estate agent said jovially "it's not so bad. It only hums when it's damp."

    We live in England. It's always damp.

    He also photoshopped out all of the telephone wires from the houses to the pole too.

    The pylon is still there just peeking out to the right of the chimney. I have a feeling that photo 11 wouldn't be quite as bad in real life, and the EA has 'enhanced' the colours of it.
