You can never substitute face-to-face...
A word of caution
Online consultations and case studies may a good way to teach, learn, and get some guidance, but it can NEVER be a substitute for a face-to-face analysis, as the cultural, social and personal background play an important role in the analysis.
As it is written in Neijing Suwen CH.77 'The 5 Failings of Physicians':
'Huang Di said: The first failing occurs in diagnosis. When a physician overlooks factors such as a patient's social and material status that could contribute to the development of disease [...] Lack of such observation is a loss to the physician of a valuable link that is essential in the accuracy of the diagnosis [...]. The third failing occurs when the physician lacks deductive reasoning. Much information about a patient's condition is gathered, in addition to careful observation of the body signs and inquiry of patient's symptoms (this corresponds to the context of the life chart and basic questioning about the problem), from lifestyle, occupation, social and family circumstances, emotional stress, and immediate environment. After gathering the pieces of information, it is the physician's task to utilize to his knowledge and analyze through deduction the entire picture of the patient's illness. Inability to do this limits the physician's effectiveness.'
The translation was taken from 'The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine' by Maoshing Ni,PhD
The same is valid for Feng Shui. Floorplans and photos are good and well, but do not substitute for an on-site visit.
So please if you have no other possiblity, by all means request an online analysis, but please be aware that because of its nature, (ie. no personal contact), many very important factors may get lost.
Attentively,
