Something for the Weekend - Part 212 - Fixer Upper!

[davescm]

Hi

Thanks to everyone who took the time to post an image in our last archway challenge.

I snapped the boat below a few years ago whilst walking around Whitby, in the north east of England. It could be described as 'needing just a little attention'. Could your Photoshop skills help?

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 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

That's copyrighted?

You know that valve labelled 'Do not touch'? I wondered what it did...

There! Fixed it. Now you can market it as a diving adventure and earn a boatload of money.

I have that sinking feeling...😊

Isn't that a main street in Dubai?

There are a series of YouTube channels called Haulover Inlet, Broncos Guru, and Drainplug Mafia.  The first features some incredibly OTT boats — some with as many as six huge outboard motors — battling the rough water at the afore named channel of water.  The other two feature boating misshaps and stupidity, and forgetting the drainplug at the boat ramp is one of their favourites.  So they have a running gag about stealing your drainplug.  They are all good for a laugh, or in the case of the last two, more like a cringe.

Thanks for making our day @Trevor.Dennis. Had a good chuckle.

Does anyone remember this gem? (Have to "confirm your age" for some reason, if you're not signed into YouTube.) lol

There is never a label "do not touch", there is always a label "do not open when in operation" or "please read the manual before operating", or something like that. Obviously, the person (guy or gal, because my wife does not read manuals neither 😇) is of the kind "learning by sinking"!

[Abambo]

Well, we never have a "DO NOT TOUCH" sign, except with fresh paint... 😂

Too true

I also thought about this, but I did have little time, and would not be able to do that in the same quality. I love your edits.

[davescm]

Great job Smathia. Now we know what it looks like after the previous sinking 🙂

It's fully sunk now @davescm 

[derekwatson]

Oh I want to dive and explore it now! 🤿

[davescm]

A, very nice, aged quality to that. I like it.

The next horror film?

Scary movie - waterworld

Given the nautical nature, should the starboard eye be green?  🙂
