Hi
It's Friday again which means it's time for a new weekend challenge! It's hard to believe we've had ten of these now.
I was reading the other day about the 7 a day fruit and vegetable advice for healthy eating and though I wonder what the Photoshop folk would make from a group of fruit and vegetables. So here they are - 7 fruit and vegetables. I cheated on the healthy bit and stuck a potato in there, and a mushroom is also probably bending the "rules". Of course for those in the UK, where the campaign was 5 a day, then you only need to use five of them 
.
As usual, anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.
Anyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.
There are no prizes - just the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun.
When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.
To download the image below without the forum scaling artefacts, right click and then use Save Image As / Save Picture As (or similar depending on your browser).
Have fun
Dave

No-one has said I've got a sweet innocent face for well over 50 years - but I'll take it

Yes, sorry Dave from me as well!
Nice one Dave. Looking at your image I am seeing windows and a door in the mushroom, with a hobbit outside smoking a pipe. The carrot would make a nice dug-out canoe and the onion a hot air balloon up in the sky.
I'm still backed up, but slowly getting there, so I might get something up for this week. 
Inspired Dave, so many clever ideas there. I see the mushroom features really strongly -I'm starting to worry about you and mind altering food-you could end up like Trevor. They say the men in white coats let him out for a full two hours a day now, but even he doesn't go around photographing pieces of driftwood on beaches

I actually Googled magic mushrooms after seeing this thread, but I wouldn't risk anything that didn't come from the supermarket, yet alone stuff that messes with your mind. Chris gets upset because I won't eat her garden produce, but the apples from our tree are sharp, and the broccoli are like the stick figures in a Lowry painting. She is OK at growing tomatoes, but I know for certain fact that nobody really likes tomatoes, and they just pretend by way of a huge wind-up. But they are not fooling me matey!

I like the way the spuds are getting washed Dave... very clever
Goodness, that takes me back. Back in the day, you could only get your veg covered with mud. Pre-washed veg was science fiction, even for soft southern Jessies (Dave will know what I mean). But my dad was forward thinking, and decided to supply our parsnip crop sans mud. The problem was, Global Warming hadn't been invented back then, and even in Essex — which is considerably closer to the Equator than where Dave and Terri live — our winters were COLD! So filling two cast iron bathtubs with muddy parsnips, and scrubbing them with a yard broom while being splashed with not quite frozen mucky water, was not fun.
There will be clever machines that do it all nowadays, except oop north where the choice is between scrubbing vegetables or the Workhouse But as Monty Python used to say, 'They were lucky!'
Full of character Jodi - nice!
Terri - that wasn't kind - it's 399 pounds
It's Sunday evening here so a good time to remind anyone who has stumbled across this thread that all are welcome to join in. You can make an image as complex or as simple as you like. Don't be shy - have a go
Dave
