Question

Something for the weekend - Part 80 - Underneath the arches.

Hi

"Underneath the Arches" was a 1930s song by comedy and singing duo Flanagan and Allen. The arches in this week's image are a bit more up to date and hold up the Infinity Bridge in Stockton on Tees, UK.

The challenge for this week is to bring both together and show us what goes on underneath the arches.

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.

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!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

    Hi

    Bob - That's a clever idea building in another set of famous "arches"

    Jane - You seem to think that some other software exists outside Photoshop ....

    Jacob - Some bizzare things under those arches, well done for squeezing in the old pier from a few weeks ago.

    Thanks to all who took part this week - the new challenge will be up and running shortly.

    Dave.

    Some street art. Perhaps not a Banksy.

    Hi

    We'll have to cut that support column out now and put it in a gallery. But will it shred itself if we do?

    I used to love looking at the clouds and imagining what they looked like. Is that an infinity sign over the Infinity Bridge? Or possibly a Cloud that is a bit more Creative?

    Thank you, Dave! But it only makes sense to put Illustrator first and biggest and InDesign next and both of them before Photoshop, right?

    The Creative Cloud/Infinity Bridge symbol was done in Illustrator with the Blob Brush tool, btw.

    I am 100% positive that you will love Illustrator as much or more that Photoshop once you learn it, Dave. Trust me.

    Now it’s my turn to:

    Cheers,

    Jane

    Hi

    Some great entries so far

    Jane - that looks like a happy camper !

    Graham - I didn't know who she was until I did a quick search and this forum thread came up : Meet Tabby Backguard

    Dean - That is close to an actual event. When the bridge was opened they had parkour freerunners climbing the arches with flares.

    Trevor - great job!. The black and white fits well with the theme - as does the London bus.

    Rista - Are they the trolls asking for the tolls? Love it - and nice job with the threatening sky!

    If you've read this thread and have an idea - post it! Everyone is welcome.
