Something for the Weekend - Part 206 - We can can-can!

[davescm]

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.

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

Dave

I hope the Tin Man's oil can gets donated to the Smithsonian and gets placed next to Dorothy's (mismatched) ruby slippers! Here's the clip of the Tin Man getting his joints oiled:

You might have started a whole new avenue there, Smathia, with the Oilympics!

Using AI a bit for the backgroudn but even that only got me so far.

A quick application of oil, if the fire gets low, should do it 🙂
