The time has come, the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax-
Of cabbages- and kings-
And why the sea is boiling hot-
And whether pigs have wings.
Extract Lewis Carroll - The Walrus and the Carpenter

 

There was some discussion in a previous SFTW thread of creating some challenges relating to specific world or national days. It turns out that today, Friday 17 February, is National Cabbage Day in the US. Who could resist a challenge like that? So we have our cabbage patch starter image, what will you do with it?

 

The “rules”:

* Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.

* 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. Sorry to emphasise this, but the image is not for use elsewhere.

 

To download the image below, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. I've made the background transparent to save you cutting it out. 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

Cabbage needs a good watering. And there is something magical about rain.
