I had driven by this house for about 20 years and it had become my dream home. Coincidentally I was asked to photograph and video the property and it became a labor of love. This shot was taken at dusk with the landscape and pool lighting on and a few Home Depot halogen lights pointed at the back of the home. I couldn't bring out enough magic with the flat cloudy sky so I masked it and dropped in some stars from a previous night shoot. HDR was used on the body of the home only and other highlights were brought out using luminance controls in Adobe's RAW editor.
