Something for the Weekend - Part 187 - Charles' Tower

According to the stone above the door, England's King Charles (the first not the present) stood on this tower, now named Phoenix Tower, in Chester and saw his army defeated. I wonder what it looked like that day in 1645?

 

The “rules”:

* Use one of the starter images 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 images are made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to emphasise this, but the images are 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.

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).

Have fun.

Clever idea Dean. The bricklayer's apprentice must have laid those bricks late on a Friday afternoon 🙂

Yes Dave - I'll blame the bricklayer rather than the Photoshopper 🙂

I hope this clip is not region restricted: https://www.srf.ch/play/tv/news-clip/video/das-bild-haengt-schief?urn=urn:srf:video:fa88c9fe-0581-49... 

It's a very famous German sketch about straightening things. There are a few spoken words, but they are completely irrelevant.

For those attempting perspective correction in Photoshop there is an excellent article here, I've had it bookmarked for years. It is written by Rodenestock so as you would expect it favours the view camera, but does give some great tips on retaining proportions when compensating for tilt in Photoshop and how to correct accurately.
