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!

So I took my time machine and traveled 200 years in the past and took a picture of the same exact place

I wondow how far you'd need to go forward for it to look the same?  I suspect the sea level would be a whole lot higher as well.

2000 years and the clouds haven't moved. When will the sun come out? 🙂

It's like the money. You will never experience the day the customer pays (in time).

LOL time traveling has a glitch, I think

[EuanWilliamson]

Its joined the liner in Davy Jones locker !

[derekwatson]

so a new conspiracy theory starts... it wasn't an iceberg!

[davescm]

We said fix it, not sink it! Now we need a new boat.  🙂

Tide is out...

[davescm]

Ready for sandblasting - that'll get the old paint off! 🙂

Goodness Derek.  I am impressed with this one.  A decent selection of an awkward subject, nicely composited into the desert scene, and a beautiful job of making it look like it's been there for years.  We are super pleased (that's Adobe speak) to welcome you to the SFTW threads.

Thank you! 🤩

That looks a fun cruise. I wondered what it would be like to get in the slide though and find the first bit goes uphill? Then I realised it will work fine once teh bot tips up on a large wave! 🙂

A bit less subtle than my last one... 
But fixing up this boat is hard work.

[davescm]

But I wanted a cabin with windows!  🙂

It's amazing what a little Structure Reference can do for an image.

[davescm]

I like that Kevin, and even better that you've also fixed up the dock!  🙂

Excellent cleant up Kevin.  A nice job of adding back thew shading and an especially nice job of the gaurd rails.  Were they strokeed paths with a bevel & emboss?
