We did have a lot of entries to our previous beach challenge. Everyone must have been in the mood for a day at the beach.
This time I bring you two views of a simple object - a cog wheel. What can you make with it? You can use one or both views. I wonder if the animators amongst you can turn it into a full blown machine! Show us your creativity!
The “rules”:
* Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
* 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. Sorry to emphasise this, but the image is not for use elsewhere.
To download the image below, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. I've made the background transparent to save you cutting it out. 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

Thank you, Dave. I have a confession to make, though. My Photoshop skills are not nearly as good as would be needed to make this image there. So, I printed your beautiful image on a sheet of white paper, I crumpled it, and took a picture of it. Voilá! ☺️

Hah! I totally thought it was a maxed out displacement map. Blimey, we'll be having a SFTW marbling session next. Hmmmm... I've got some accrylic paints in the garage. I just need my Chris to pop out so I can use a baking tray.
I think the most common use of marbling nowadays is with electric guitar bodies.
Dean, it's the images projected on the Opera House that I have found most impressive. I wouldn't want to get between the laser projector and the Opera House for fear of being cut in half. If that laser was fitted to a Jedi lightsaber, the power would have to have been wound up to a Spinal Tap Eleven!
That's interesting Dean, as it appears to show the path of the laser from way across the water. I've always assumed that the source was much closer to the Opera House, but I am guessing that projector is actually somewhere near the bridge.
