Something for the Weekend - Part 175 - Building Bridges

[davescm]

Hi

Thanks to all who took part in the our Halloween challenge.

This weekend, I bring you a photo of a bridge in Glen Affric, Scotland which I snapped a few years ago. It is a beautiful part of the world, but a rather ugly concrete and steel structure supporting the bridge. Can you use your Photoshop skills to smarten it up with something more in keeping with the surroundings?

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, 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

You'll have to zoom in to see who's playing Pooh Sticks on the bridge.

I love this, @TheOriginalGC, but will the sticks float UPSTREAM as they race each other under the bridge? 😊

(who still plays this childhood game)

[TheOriginalGC]

You're right, of course. These two characters aren't very clever. Neither am I for I didn't find a pair without the sticks.

[jane-e]

It's the photo. Dave failed to take it from upstream so your characters could play Pooh Sticks properly, hahaha! I love it all the same.

Happy and brave dog. 🙂

Happy and brave and big dog.

Our Chocolate Lab Ursula weighed 130 pounds. I'd never before had a dog that weighed more than I did! (She died some years ago and I weigh more than that now haha)

Un-building bridges?

[davescm]

Good job Rafeal.

There was a parr at the right fom under the bridg that looked odd, so I rebuilt some rocks into your vesrion

Thanks, Dean, I missed that and I didn't see it until after I posted.

The proportions are wrong but to match the bridge, she'd have to be so tiny that you couldn't see her. (This is my child. My child the acrobat)

[davescm]

Just before the splash !! 🙂

Welcome Daniel. That's what it looks like after a few wee drams 🙂

That's one way of tackling the bridge, go at night.  Nice job with the change of time Joshua.
