Thank you to everyone who put aside the time the time to take part in our previous challenge. It is great to see diverse entries and creativity.
Whilst grinding beans for a coffee, I wondered what else could be made from a simple coffee bean. The SFTW team are always good for such a challenge, so for this week please show us what can you make with this bean.
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).
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

That still exist, in a fashion; you just can't look at them like we used to. I wish the various music streaming services would let us explore any art in detail. It's one of the things I miss about tangible records.

That had me wondering about bands with 'tree' in their name. There turned out to be a bunch of such bands, but I haven't of a single one of them. It would make a splendid album cover though.
Looking at sleeves with trees bought up one we know, but Jame's image is waaaaay better. Heck, Roger Dean eat your heart out.

I did think about reworking this image, but thought I'd be here all night! Way too many tongues.

Trevor, as I see it, it has just been in the wash long enough to have the same wash as some of the harder ones forming most of the wash which have been there much longer, but short enough to still be here rather than washed away completely.
I wonder whether some of the fishes have followed the faint scent of its wash, trying to get to the invigorating source.

Another 'Where's Wally' but this one might be a bit easier! 🙂

Hah! That's really funny Jacob. The cigar makes all the difference. I am not sure what it reminds me of, but possibly one of the Muppet Show characters.
