Speed Challenge #118 -- Garden Party - PhotoCamel

Lydia too · 12-31-2007

Ok. I've only been here a short while so if I'm not doing this correctly, please feel free to advise.

How about a Garden Party?

Alter this photo in any way you see fit... If your PS skills don't include being able to deal with the reflection, you may crop the photo to not deal with it, but the photo must only be cropped or added to. You're not allowed to cut parts of this out and use them to create a new image.

In other words, this foggy Winter scene must be the background (although you're allowed to crop it).

That's it. Have fun! I'll announce a winner next Tuesday morning (so cut off will be Monday night whereever you are).

Attachment 23218Let the fun and games begin. Alice in Wonderland.

That's a wonderful idea, Morgan! Kudos.

I'm looking forward to your entry, Bunny.

Morgan Starr · 01-01-2008

Thanks Lydia, I was learning how to use the extract tool. And in general just having fun.

Can't have a party without the Force.

Excellent challenge Lydia! I can't wait to start working on it!

kris10 · 01-01-2008

I agree. This looks like fun. I've already started stewing on my idea. I just hope I can execute it like I see it in my head.

Lydia too · 01-02-2008

GoofUp, wonderful idea! So clever!

Ben, I can just imagine your Thinker out my window by the pond now.

Well done.

Morgan Starr · 01-02-2008

How about a dragon party?

April · 01-03-2008

Here's my attempt...these can get quite addictive I think!

Lydia too · 01-03-2008

Beautiful, April. It's interesting how you have the fairies leading our eye out of the photo on both sides.

Lovely scene!

Morgan, another good entry from you. Thanks.
