Question

Something for the Weekend - Part 210 - Thou shalt have a fishy!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our previous coffee bean challenge.

 

This statue, of one of the last of the fish-wives in Nairn, stands life size near the harbour. I am not sure who created this bronze but the detail is excellent. For this week's Photoshop challenge - can you show her in her working environment?

 

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. and is respectful to the real fishwife on who the statue is based.
  • 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 your skills, 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

I love that you have changed the colour to match the original.  Nice job.

This will start a whole new Apollo 11 conspiracy theory.  Alex Jones will be using it as evidence by the end of the week, and his entire, Trump supporting, audience will believe it as fact.

I was especially excited that the shadow alignment for both images lined up easily. 🙂

It irks me when we spend hours getting the details as nice as we can, and they get lost when downsized in the final upload. 😞 

There's nothing left of the strap, but there was a bit of work in making it.  The main thing is we enjoy putting them together, and it's always good practice.

Thanks for the ear worm, Dave. I love this song, but never realized before that it's from Geordie.

And @Joseph Labrecque has discarded the basket. How is she supposed to transport all that fish?
