It is time for Robyn’s (Capivate Me blog) One Four Challenge for May Week 2.
For this challenge, Robyn wants us to use a single image and process it four different ways. She encourages us to try new things, experiment and be as creative or subtle as we wish to be.
For this series I picked a photo I of a house that on first glance seems to be abandoned. This house is actually lived in. I took this photo at the end of April while Chris and I were driving some back roads in our area. The only reason I know people lived there, was their garbage was out for pick up service. And notice on the sliding door on the first level and balcony, they still have Christmas lights.

Week 2 Version
I basically took my Week 1 Version and brought it into Color Efex Pro 4 and added a couple of filter layers. Solarization and Color Neutralizer then in photoshop I brightened the photo just a little bit.

Hello Cee – I made it! Apologies for my late reply. I’m having issues commenting again.
I love the treatment you’ve given to week 2 – the grungy feel really suits this old ‘lived in’ house 😀

I think I like this one the best, but the monochrome works well too. I’m torn. 😉
