Something for the Weekend - Part 213 - Look before you leap!

Our last boat restoration challenge went down well - thanks to all who took the time to share their edits.

This week we have a salmon leaping at the Falls of Shin in Scotland. The scientists and naturalists tell us that they do this to spawn at the place they started out in life as small eggs. Of course, you may be able to show us an alternative reason for this salmon's leap...

 

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 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).

 

 

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun!

 

Dave

It only takes a glance to recognise one of your images James.

I asked gen fill for an anaconda and it created this cute little animal in the bottom, any suggestions for the name? Thanks Dave for another fun challenge 🙂

I don't know what to call it, but I won't be getting in the water with it! 🙂

Hey, that's pretty good Jacob.  It's way up there on the Ged Bizarreometer scale.  Spot on perspective of the propeller as well.

Is it a waterfall, or the hair of the monster beneath? If the salmon has any sense, he won't hang around to find out 🙂

What a great perspective... Makes me want to put big eyes at the top looking down... 🙂 Thank you and thanks for the inspiration Dave...
