Here is a boring remake, where I've only removed the people+the car, and the weed on the building. I've also colored the roof to a coppery green shade.
I think I'll be starting at a more fun version now =)

And here's one where I removed much of the background... But I didn't do it very good, I couldn't bother to do it better than this

Wiked!! thanks guys can you do a HDR one and maybe put in some steps on how i would go about doing these things, cheers! they look cool!

its a pretty low quality pic tbh will make it hard to get a successful HDR effect, very blurred in places

What I did on my pics:

The first one:
-Clone stamp tool to remove car, people and weed on the walls. For the parts where there was too much weed to magically remove, I copied some other window or wall to put there that looked similar.
-Lasso to select the roof parts and then played with the hue to make it copper green.
-Lasso to select the doors at the very left part of the building to change the hue a bit.
-Just a little bit of contrast and tone change, to get a slightly better white balance.

The second one:
-All of above, and...
-Selected along the roof and walls to only select the sky, then used a large and soft clone stamp brush to copy clouds from other parts of the photo to remove the trees and hills. Then I selected the part on the very left and clone stamped som parts of the front lawn grass to that part to make it look like a hill behind the building so that it didn't look like it was on the very top of a hill.


THis is my try at HDR, I simply went to the HDR toning-window, and played around a bit. Which unfortunatley made the grass a bit too green so I've toned it down a bit in the Selective Color-window.
