Something for the Weekend - Part 175 - Building Bridges

Hi

Thanks to all who took part in the our Halloween challenge.

 

This weekend, I bring you a photo of a bridge in Glen Affric, Scotland which I snapped a few years ago. It is a beautiful part of the world, but a rather ugly concrete and steel structure supporting the bridge. Can you use your Photoshop skills to smarten it up with something more in keeping with the surroundings?

 

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, 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).

 

 

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

Why did the turkey cross the river?

That's much more natural looking than the concrete version Jane - and the turkey should be safe over here this weekend 🙂

A covered bridge. Very nice Joseph - it'll be handy in the current weather 🙂

Matching the surroundings is not an option, no?

Maybe others were faster, but I've just now figured out what "surroundi" and "ngs" mean! 😊

I think these beautiful tires (tyres) from SFTW93 smarten up the ugly concrete and steel structure rather nicely!

I get your thinking here Jane. If we don't like the bridge, we can just drive it away 🙂

Welcome to SFTW Rollan. I wondered if someone would paint the bridge. I wasn't quite thinking of that though 🙂

@davescm I was hoping to create an effect that the bridge is in black to signify a way to get back to the past. But I have to do work, so that was really the intention. Thank you for the welcome remarks.

That's a lovely job with the change of season. I think you've been photo-bombed though 🙂

All the girls love my bloodhound, so I thought, I would include him instead of myself. He gets more likes… 😄 .
