Thank you to everyone who participated in our previous coffee bean challenge. This statue, of one of the last of the fish-wives in Nairn, stands life size near the harbour. I am not sure who created this bronze but the detail is excellent. For this week's Photoshop challenge - can you show her in her working environment? 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. and is respectful to the real fishwife on who the statue is based. 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 your skills, 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, 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).

I was thinking the same thing. One day you will be able top study for a PhD in writing Ai prompts that work. Either that, or there will be another Ai that will prompt the first Ai, and the resulting loop will cause your computer to self destruct along with every other computer, and smart device, within Bluetooth and WiFi range.

This image comes to you courtesy of extreme irony. 😉

Hi @Padsbernardo and welcome to SFTW. I've resaved your image entry at a higher compression and used the forum image widget to embed it in your post so that others can see it in the thread.

Where is this background building?

Thank you , Dave. I just use Photoshop AI to change the background and just add "Thou shalt have a fishy!" on the stone. 🙂

I love the hand behind her back. You missed a trick though. If you'd flipped the image, the wedding ring would have been on the correct hand.

There is no correct hand.

From Wikipedia:

The wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the right hand in some Orthodox and a small number of Catholic European countries, some Protestant Western European, as well as some Central and South American Catholic countries.^[12] In Eastern Europe, these include Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine. In Central or Western Europe, these include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, the Netherlands (if not Catholic), Norway, and Spain (except in the Catalan-speaking regions). In Central or South America, these include Colombia, Cuba, Peru, and Venezuela.
