Something for the Weekend - Part 226 - Make a splash!

[davescm]

Thanks to all who took part in our last 'comb' challenge.

This week we go outside to a country lane with four nice puddles. How will you use them, will it be a happy splashing scene, something darker for Halloween, or something else entirely?

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).

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!

It is indeed a first, Dave: a new enterprise.

With a bit of luck this is just a first in the a much larger inland fleet, ferrying folk safely over any flood (or puddle) rather than tide, going by the old name Tractor Ferry rather than the more limited name Sea Tractor.

The latter name is currently used on Burgh Island and a few other places, whereas Tractor Ferry features on the boards at the departure points in the Evil Under the Sun episode, and was also used about the original version,

Anyroad, the concept has already been proven, by a service life of more than 50 years and its ability to weather tough weather,

Which do you choose?

Since I couldn't generate a proper hopscotch in Ps, I did the thinks the old way and I realized how much I missed doing the blending the old way, playing with blend if, edges, texturing, blend modes, super fun! It's a firefly free image lol

[Christelle RD]

Love the concept, your hopscotch looks so good!
I choose playing hopscotch in puddles 🙂

[Valdair Leonardo]

Thank you so much, Christelle! Glad you liked it 😄 That would be my choice as well 🙂

[davescm]

Haha - puddles every time!

Another scary one. Sort of 'The scream' meets a country walk!  🙂

Heavy thoroughfare. The Elephant Walk.

So now we finally know how this happened!

[davescm]

Haha - no wonder they can't keep the lane flat!

Haha!

[davescm]

Haha - the inclusion of the puzzled fox is a great addition. 🙂

Dave

[fbeaume]

Haha! Will the quick brown fox jump over the periscope?

[Henrik Heigl]

some land life 😉

[davescm]

He is unsuspecting, and those birds are coming for him!

Big Foot – big splash 😉

[davescm]

I thought we were about to see bigfoot, then find he is obscured by the splash! Ain't that always the way?  🙂

A clever idea that's nicely executed. I love the mud splashes on the frame.
