Something for the weekend - Part 107 - Scarecrows

[davescm]

Hi

Thanks to all who created the gargoyles and grotesques in last weekend's challenge.

This week I passed this field which a local farmer has been preparing for planting. I was thinking that he might need a scarecrow or two once he plants the seeds. Can you oblige?

The “rules”:

• 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. It also would be great to see all those who have taken part in the previous challenges come and take part in this one.
• 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!

Hi,

this "Can you oblige?" isn't it the noblesse which has to do that? Ok, and so our team took this quite literally. Our scarecrows are accompanied by a mixture of members of the nobility and young farmers in order to scare away the waiting crows in their trees. You can see this great success: the wasteland becomes green already!

Another nice twist from you both Hans. 🙂

This has a sort of modern art/abstract feel to it Hans.  I like it.

Many thanks to you both from the noblesse-scarecrow-team! 😉

A whole scarecrow competition. The whicker man looks particularly scary 🙂

No scarecrow, just a scare 🙂

Lizzie Borden, I presume.

I don't know about the crows, but that will keep me out of the field Ged 🙂

it may keep the birds away but not the humans

I love it.  I'm seeing it with the ramp down, and an Area 51 alien with Dave's head, and maybe animate flashing lights around the rim of the saucer as in Third Encounter.

Clever - I do like the start of the crop circle (or spiral) 🙂  Welcome to SFTW Rayek

A most cunning form of safety in numbers, Dave.

A nice comic book look to that Dean, with the scarecrow definitely the "baddie" 🙂

I love the scarecrow Dean.  It looks like something out of Sin City.  Very Film Noir

Too late! All the seeds are gone now, I'm afraid...
