Speed Challenge 13

[Kevin Barrett]

I'm happy to announce Speed Challenge 13

This particular challenge will run for seven days to allow for even more participation.

Rules: Yes, there must be rules in order to make this FUN!

1. Have Fun
2. Knock Kevin's Socks Off
3. Make this image uniquely yours
4. Choose a subtle or more extreme approach (Note: Extreme isn't necessarily better than Subtle)
5. Provide a general description of the technique you utilized and what you were trying to achieve.
6. See Number 1

Here's my vision...

Here’s my attempt, darken and cropped to isolate the reader and applied some ethereal light with the Mystical Lighting plug-in.

Well... I like the second better... but I've found that my extreme processing doesn't usually go over well... so here's the edit before my moody levels:

and here's the one I prefer:

LOL, Steph.

My quick effort. Twins

Created new layer, used magnetic lasso to copy our commuter and paste into new layer.
Transformed new layer with a horizontal flip and moved image to appropriate location.
Adjusted colour to look like different light was hitting him.

Sorry it must be silly season

This condenses my view on flying. Although I've peaked at 50 flights a year I still hate the experience.

These are just some images of things that I desire or fear when flying, placed in strategic positions. Desaturated a little and some dodging/burning to add some ambience.



"Fear of Flying"


edit: I just realised that doesn't seem like an airplane at all on second glance . I'll stick with my interpretation anyway!

This is without a doubt the best speed challenge yet. Great entries.

[Kevin Barrett]

We have 917 Forum members now... I anticipate (at least hoping) we'll get a few more entries.

Just added a few comfort things

[Kevin Barrett]

All great entries for this challenge. Boy, it was close but I'll have to award it to Stephanie. The idea of adding the little companion into the scene.
really got me laughing....

BTW: I intentionally left out the fact that this was taken aboard the "LakeExpress", a new high-speed ferry that transports people, cars, trucks
and what have you from Muskegon, MI across Lake Michigan to Milwaukee, WI at a comfortable clip of 40mph.

Not an airliner, but it sure fiies across the water...
