Something for the weekend - Part 2 - What Lies Beneath?

https://forums.adobe.com/people/Terri+Stevens  wrote All the best ideas have already been used \

Torvill & Dean skating on the water.

Synchronized swimming

A jetboat or jetski race, or one of those crazy jet hover devices.

A cutaway along the lines of Erik Johannson's fish composite.  Erik has great ideas, and is a prolific digital artist.

Instead of removing all the water, leave a column of water with a boat trapped at the top.  Along the lines of the earthquake cows which was taken not far from where I live

An inverted aquarium theme where the fish are studying the strange humans on the outside.  You'd need a caption or speech bubbles to make that work.

A Daliesque creation with melting buildings and people with twenty foot long stick thin legs. Plus the obligatory droppy clock

A Lowry approach with stick thin people and stylized buildings.  Try your cartoon effects on the background.  I bet there is a lowry people brush you can download.  Add a texture to grunge it up at the end.

I like the cutaway idea, but it is unlikely I'll have time to look at it today, so now's your chance to nick the idea .  Perhaps a sort of Heath Robinson gadget exposed below the waterline with a conveyor belt at its end turning out Kevin Keagan perm wigs.  I'd have to give it a Kiwi flavour with mullets instead of curly perms

Haha - Derek you just made me spill my coffee

I looked at several football angles with it being Liverpool, and the the club's colours being so vivid.  I thought Matt Busby walking on water, but couldn't find a suitable source image of him.  I also thought about some sort of soccer match played on/in water. Those funy angled building don't help with working out the perspective, but if you are tying to make it work, then as near as I can tell, the vanishing point and horizon are near the base of the nearest corner of the black building with all the angles.

Ah, some great entries so far

Semaphoric - if the scenery looks like that underneath , then we should drain the dock tomorrow . I also wondered if the library was left over from 2008 when Liverpool was "Capital of Culture"? I wouldn't like to have a seat under that ship though.

The enigmatic Mr Fosse sets us a challenge in his intriguing image. Is it only me that wants to translate the Japanese characters and see what it says, or is my PC now running the secret code in his image and is now mining bitcoins for Norway?

The conspiracy theorists will have a field day if they search and find USSNorway's entry and discover that the astronauts didn't land on the moon after all , they just went to Liverpool.

Keep them coming, remember anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go......

Is that a Eurotherm mining center?

BTW, his name is Mr. Smith, and the accent appears to be...japanese.

Semaphoric       I say . . .  I thought the pilgrims took that with them?

Wow. How cool is this. Google Earth does an elevated 3D view of Liverpool.  I don't know if THIS LINK will take you straight to it, or if you'll need to mess with the page widgets, but it is a great tool to explore the area with.
