Dave is having a well earned rest this week, so for this weeks challenge we have a cone, what can you make with it.

 

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. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* 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!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

 

To download the image below at full size, 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

Ged

You can't imagine just how badly I want to shout as loud as I can into that cone. 😉  I love that he has eye and hearing protection, but neither are doing him any good.  At least the hard hat is on his head.

Now we know why he needs a big hearing aid Trevor! I wonder if it multifunctions as a telescope?

Thanks for giving Dave a reprieve Ged. Nice job with your render!

 

I liked all the puzzles last week and decided to come up with my own. I hope I didn't make it too easy, hahaha! Which of these things is not like the other?

Jane, are they multicoloured teeth or is my mind playing tricks with me 😀

You're close, Ged — the candy corn will give you cavities and the one "hidden" outlier will break them!

...and a harder fall! It's almost as challenging as K2.

Great idea!

Probably one of the most chilling lines I've ever heard in a movie. You *know* something bad was going to happen.

Ged, I tried to find a road workman as the basis for this, because it would fit better with the traffic cone element. but most of the image search results were obviously set up for stock photo sites, and showed office workers wearing pristine clean clothes awkwardly holding tools they were obviously not familiar with, and they even then, they were covered with more copyright overlays than I wanted to spend time removing, or they did not loan themselves to holding the cone.  I bet a good 25% of the time it takes to do a SFTW image is spent finding the all the image elements you need to build it.  Yandex was a good find, but it still takes time, and the earlier results are still flooded with stock photos.  If anyone has good ideas on looking for images, please share them.
