Something for the weekend - Part 223 - A close shave!

[davescm]

Hi,

Thanks to all who took part in our lighthouse challenge.

Regular participants will know that I tend to alternate our starter images between scenes and objects. So, for this weekend, we have an object in the form of a shaving brush. What can you make with it?

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 humor 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 starter 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). I've already put it on a transparent background, to save you time masking.

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

Who you callin' a punk!!

Oh dear I don't think you have any idea what is really going on over here

My post was only in fun with regard to the brush.

I wondered if it was wise to perhaps antagonise some readers.

Here in the UK we get from the BBC very fair verified reporting on all all things to do with the upcoming American election.

In similar vein, it's very interesting and illuminating to watch world news about the UK that originates outside the country.

Often the observer view can be useful.  🙂

Is that a sculpture we should know Jacob?

Dave, your really keen eye spotted what our bristling friend overlooked, therefore wading right into the card game turned stare and stillness contest, inevitably to be dumped after making the first ripple.

Based on your clue about a sculpture, I started looking and found that the contest was commemorated here (Barbara Wolfart),

so certainly a sculpture known by few.

That's a funny one!

And the young lion will find out that this was a very bad mistake to pounce on this one. 😜😁

A nice idea and nicely done Kevin 🙂

Ah, it finds a place in our old SFTW barber shop. I remember spending quite a bit of time modelling that one.

A strike or a clean sweep? 🙂

@Dennis Canon 

I've unmarked your post as "Correct" because SFTW does not have correct answers. I don't know who marked it.

Very cool!

So it's not a shaving brush, it's a lookout post! 🙂
