Something for the Weekend - Part 241 - Time and Tide....

Hi,

Thanks to all who took part in our last, 'Prickly Issue', challenge. We had a great range of entries with both still images and animations.

 

'Time and tide wait for no man', says the old proverb. So for this week, I bring you a picture of Staithes, a lovely village on the North Yorkshire coast of England. Can you show us what it might look like when the tide retreats?

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 humor 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 starter 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

Thought if the lake was empty they might turn it into a nice park.

I like that Alan - lot's going on and meets the brief perfectly. 🙂

I have this radical notion that a brief is something you're supposed to follow. 🙄 Decades of client work will do that to a guy.

 

Besides, it gave me a chance to use my favorite Mars panorama again, a stock photo I've not had a use for, and some tiny seagulls from an old beach photo.

The rising tide raises all ships.

There seems to be a bit of that around at the moment 🙂  I'm sure the seal will show them the way.

More redevelopment! I like that the new background still has the same basic contour as the old!

There appears to have been some redevelopment taking place in the town, including knocking the cliffs down! 🙂

We only need to slightest glance to recognise one of your images James.  I'm glad I don't live in that town.
