Hi,
We had some great entries to our last, 'Cutting Edge' challenge. Thanks to all who took the time to create those images.
This week we are off to the River Wear at Durham, where we find this old fulling mill. Fulling is a step in the process of making woollen cloth. The building dates back to the 17th century although there are records of a watermill at the location even before that. In 1833 it became a museum and part of the university of Durham. It is a timeless and tranquil scene. What can you do to liven it up?
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!
Dave

The eyes are back, and owned by a shadowy figure on the wall 🙂

It's strange, but when I came to paste this to the thread after working on my version for a while, the original building looks squat and altogether too small.

Hi Trevor
Great building extension with the option of going on a sailing trip. (And the ducks have become swans. In any case, they now have quite a long neck.)

I do like that Trevor, not only extending the building upward, but making it a windmill to boot! There'll be plenty sugar for the tea judging by that boat's sails! 🙂

Now that's what I call wind-powered efficiency! Love the seamless fusion of a windmill and a sailboat—nature’s ultimate energy combo)

Very nice JR, not only drying up the river but the tree leaves too.
