Hi,
Thanks for all the great creations in our previous, salmon leaping, challenge.

 

This week, we start with an old workbench. What story can you tell us with this?

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

Could you clarify if there are any specific themes or elements you’d like us to incorporate into our stories using the old workbench? For example, should we focus on a historical context, a fantasy setting, or is it completely open to interpretation? Thanks!

Anything goes!

if you have a look at some of the previous challenges, you'll get an idea how very the replies are.

 

Best regards, Euan.

Not sure what's going on here but first I asked Gen fill for a blue waterfall. Since that wasn't working then I asked for blue icy water. Better rendition here.

It looks as if the workshop roof might be in need of repair 🙂

Jill,

 

Is that Gertrude at the very front, still hoping for a flaminglet?

OMG, Jill! 😲 Is that Gertrude at the very front, still hoping for a flaminglet? I just read this article about Norfolk's 'unlucky in love' flamingo laying her first egg at age 70!! 🦩🍳 Can you believe it?! The egg is giving her a chance to express her maternal instincts. So heartwarming! 💖 Check out the full story here. You have to read it! 😍

I like it but I'm trying to find elements of the original image, Rollan. Are they there?

Always invite the hammer to the party unless you want him to crash it!
