Something for the weekend - Part 136 - A table with a view

[davescm]

Thanks to Jane-E for bringing us the last challenge and to all who took part. This week I thought we should go somewhere warm and bright, so I bring you this tropical sea view. What will you bring to the table?

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.

* 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!

To download the image below at 3000 x 2000 pixels, with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), 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. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun.

Dave, 135/144 > 136?

[davescm]

Haha - I realised I'd numbered it wrong when Jane contacted me earlier. Then I corrected it to a new, also wrong, number. We'll have to have a numbers competion next time, after I learn to count! It should be right now (136) 🙂

Dave, this is a beautiful image and very nicely done. I love it!

Thank you Jane. Unfortunately the nearest I get to it at present is my keyboard, it exists only in RAM 🙂

Dave

[jane-e]

Very nice, Dave, your detail is impeccable!

I should have known it was a render Dave, I thought it was a Photo since you didn't mention it in your original post, that just shows how good your render is. 😁

[jane-e]

@Ged_Traynor , the clue (for me) that it's not a photo was the straight horizon. My photos are always off a degree or two!

[davescm]

Haha - I'll make a note Jane and tilt the horizon next time 🙂  Thanks guys.

I'm still finding it hard to spot the difference. May need another clue. 🙂 

[davescm]

A thirsty person may have walked past, Dean.

Thanks Dave. I had thought it may have been the glasses but still could see until I compared flicked through one to the next and see someone has taken a sip of the dring on the right. 

I had a go at trying to empty the glass. Tried by changing the colour of the drink to the background. Not so successful to share yet. Any tips? 🙂 

[davescm]

I would empty it by cloning. The top of the glass is empty now and any cloning distortion would appear as glass distortion.

Dean, I have only just spotted this line of inquiry.

This is what actually happened before the last picture was taken:

Arriving first, the left drinker started sipping the green fairy and then just plunged in. Rather puzzled, the right drinker sat down and tasted the rum. Then a selkie sang, and both the chairs were empty again.

Last year they made a fortune off the toilet paper they hoarded and sold at premium prices. This year they've moved on to the next trend.

At least cans are better than shopping bags Jane  😮
