Something for the Weekend - Part 160 - Stay sharp!

Hi,

Thanks to all who took part in our last 'elevator' challenge, there were some great ideas and images.

This week we start with a safety pin. What can you make with this simple object?

 

The “rules”:

* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

 

To download the image below at full size, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser). On opening, you should also find a path in the paths panel should you wish to use it to create a mask.

 

When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun

 

Dave

Very cool movement! This reminds me of something that could be seen in Dr. Harold Edgerton's strobe photography!! NICE! - Murphy

That brought back some horrible memories for us of a certain age.

Thanks Dave.

It could be one of those images where people see different things and that says something about their personality. I did it with one thing in mind but now see something else. 🙂

We had a thread about pointillism art just recently.  It's great see more SFTW images with an art feel to them.

Note: my cat is helping me type this.  Thank you Joe, but you need some more typing lessons.

Exactly, Graham.

 

A safety pin nose piercing a balloon dog able to carry a coat hanger (139) and a clown in a basket (72) over the mountains (127) without any hydrogen leaking must be the ultimate safety pin (test).
