Thank you to all who took part in our previous driving road challenge. Those that take part regularly will know that sometimes we start with a scene and sometimes an object. This week it is an old oil can, something that all mechanics working on machines and engines would have to hand. What can you make with it? 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. 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). The background is transparent so that should save you some time masking.

Beautiful Leslie. So full of mood.

Seeing as we are setting the images to music, I straight away thought of Beds are Burning. Which resulted in an unrelated revolation. Surely the squeeky sould effect at the start of that song is sampled from the wind vane in the opening scen from Once Upon a Time in the West? It's not pitch perfect, but it is too close to be anything else.
