Hi
Some great entries from last week's water-mill challenge. There was a suggestion that the perspective last week proved a little difficult so for this week there are no such issues.
For obvious reasons (my tripod does extend that far), I've not used one of my own images this week. The image below comes courtesy of NASA's image gallery, which is well worth a browse. The challenge is simple - use this picture creatively in a new image.
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 artifacts, right click and then use Save Image As / Save Picture As (or similar depending on your browser).
Have fun
Dave

Hey, great idea Dave, and it immediately triggered an idea for me. I took the source picture almost exactly a year ago at my buddy's pub up the road from me. Quite a lot of it is illustration, like all the near field balls, which is obvious because they are more in focus than the table, but a lot of the background is also illustrated. One of the quickest SFTWs I've done to date, and I am a bit short of ideas this time round.
Thanks Jane
I remember that image Trevor - mainly because I was jealous that you had landed a pub gig

Blimey Dave. Have you just got back from a serious night out with the lads? Was the curry a good un? The one thing I am really looking forward to when I get to the UK in a couple of weeks time, is really nice Indian food. I won't be stopping out till 1.30AM to eat it though!
I started on this idea earlier today, and got stuck and gave up. Then I worked it out just as I was about ready for my bed, so I had to see if it worked. I thought I could FT > Warp a group because I thought that's how I did the first banner challenge animation, but it wouldn't happen. I realised I built the warp into the FT Step & Repeat by add some rotation. Make half the layers and reverse them. Then make the other half, and easy peasy make frames from layers. A wee bit of decoration, and it's job done, and I can go to bed. And I actually got a heap of work done today!!!
I like it Trevor. The warping as it moves looks very good. Will there be a Chinese version that lands in the sea ? 
I also like your Phantom of the Pool Table image. The clouds are nicely positioned on his face.
Nice work USSNorway. You say you had already made such an image. Was it for a purpose or for fun?
Lovely graphics Rista - looks like edible aliens!
Keep them coming

too easy... I already have an image like this called "my island home" because Nasa always shows Earth from the same view
p.s, most of the bits come from Deviantart

I confess I have absolutely no idea what I was thinking here. I think it all started with trying to find an image of the earth from the other side, but I'm not sure:
Dag, seeing as we now know for sure that the Apollo landings were filmed in the Arizona desert, you'd have needed some added content to make it realistic

I do not believe NASA etc but they still state landing was not fake so same like US goverment. Well how is that sure then?
Have you not seen this famous image? It just needed a curves adjustment to expose what was hiding in the shadows. If this was really filmed on the moon, it would have Richard Branson outside his latest Virgin Megastore, and not a Micky D.
Personally I watched tons of proofs that all was hoax. I don't judge. I only know what I see, what my common sense says.
There are even more evidences how badly we are intentionally entered into mistake about International Space Station.
As it is Photoshop related just see official globe from NASA site and then look at human interference there was found:
Regarding 'Curves' - manipulating with them on some official given images exposes it was made from more than 1 photo.
Question is:
If we have hard evidence moon landings were fake why then US goverment doesn't admit it, but acts it was true?
Moreover, why NASA claims still landing on moon was a fact and keep saying so each time another doubts are given?
Ps. I couldn't find anywhere answers for that, so maybe someone from here say what's the reason they say it's different 😕
