Question

Something for the Weekend - Part 195 - Leading Light!

Hi,

Our last challenge brought in some very creative ideas and images.

 

This week, we have the lighthouse on the pier at Whitby, on the north east coast of England. What will you do with it? Will you light it up, turn it into something new, or something else entirely?

 

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.

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

Most convincing and intriguing, Lee, not least the fate of the eastern leaf.

I see impending disaster in that one Maria. I wonder whose book it could cover?

Well if the Russians and the Indians can go there - why not Whitby 🙂

I do like the look of that Smathia. The lighting reminds me of an old seascape painting. Did you use AI for the sea and clouds or use them from elsewhere?
