Contest 171: Clean up this mess
I discovered an abandoned dairy a couple of weekends ago, and took loads of photographs of broken windows and doors - and this completely trashed office.

What I'd like you to do is clean it up. Now, I know it would be easy enough to create new walls in here, but I'd like you, as far as possible, to use what you can salvage from the original room. Can that radiator be repaired? Is there enough wood panel to reconstruct the wall? Can those strip lights be fixed? I'm looking for restoration here, rather than a makeover.

High res is here.

I felt like the guy in the cartoon working with only 2 pixels on this one. Not easy with such low resolution.
Must dash - got to tidy my room!

An unusually early entry from me - it's been a slow day at work!

Ok my very first attempt at something in photoshop (apart from colour adjustments in my photos that is). I must say i found this very difficult but as a first time effort after using PS for 2 weeks im not going to be too hard on myself, but thought i should join in all the same.

They must have got our old tenant. I wondered what had happened to him.

thanks for the kind words I must admit i have been admiring your work from afar, i think you have a great sense of humour. I find it quite amusing how different people interprete a 'brief', you always seem to produce something that makes me smile.

anyways i think maybe i should go and practice for another few years yet, 8' floor tiles and bent ceilings arent the best look ;-)

Well this isn't my best work by far. But I kept it as "real" as I could. This was a very difficult challenge. The darkness of the picture gave me a really hard time too. It was hard to see much detail. (Well thats enough excuses, LOL.) Here's mine!

Hehe - actually it's a retouched version of the guard person from the Perspective tutorial on Steve's disc - unless of course you have also been a Sercurity Guard/Photographic Model in your line of work
