Something for the Weekend - Part 201 - Heading Home

[davescm]

The tiny harbourmaster's boat is heading back in to the harbour at Nairn in the Moray Firth, Scotland.  Is he just finished his shift, is the weather turning bad, or is something else chasing him in? That is up to you to show us.

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, 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!

I hope he has a fast boat Euan!

If he's lucky it's an old Russian hydrogen peroxide driven torpedo and it will blow up before it gets to him!

[davescm]

He might have difficulty outrunning that Euan!

Is this Gulliver's travels? 🙂

[Jacob Bugge]

How could you guess, Dean?

[davescm]

I know they breed the eagles big up there but................  😮

.......... but "The tiny harbourmaster's boat" were your opening words, Dave.

In the words of Crocodile Dundee, 'That's not an eagle...'

I would have so loved to see a Haast's Eagle in real life, but the Maori hunted its prey (the Moa) to extinction, and with nothing to eat, the Haast's Eagle followed the Moa into extinction.

Maybe the answer lies in the question.

Too long and far out
Alone with Royal Bracklan
In the wee Osprey
When the nightmare birds return
In the winds over the waves?

Haha - Brilliant Trevor !

Dave

[Dean_Utian]

Took a while to put together. Hope the idea is coming through 🙂

[Jacob Bugge]

Indeed, Dean.

I can see that you chose the twin sister of Findhorn, and managed to squeeze everything in.

[davescm]

You caught me out Dean - I only have one picture and keep re-using it ! 🙂

I imagine it did take a while, Dean. You did a fantastic job of finding the right photos and lining them up!

[Dean_Utian]

Thanks Jane. After looking at the final result, I was thinking that it doesn't seem to represent all that went into making it. Tried to be tru to each image component. The second one from the left is the only one distorted to get the water working with the far left one.

[Jacob Bugge]

Dean,

"The second one from the left is the only one distorted to get the water working with the far left one."

I also had to mirror the Findhorn (59) to make a fit with the Sangobeg (179, along with some more), but never though of squeezing either.

I liked it and had a play with GF
