Something for the Weekend - Part 234 - Clove Hitch!

[davescm]

Hi,
Well done to all you posted images in our last, 'vital spark', challenge. There were some clever interpretations of the spark plug.

This week our starting ingredient is one which may be more familiar to the cooks among us. It is a dried clove but instead of using this one for flavour we will use it in creating an image. 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).

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!

Wow Chuck.  I checked out your Behance page to see the image I thought this was based on, and I see you have been busy.   You have some very nice imagery on that site.  We had a news item last night about a kayaker who was swallowed by a whale, but that would have been just an average day for you.  You certainly get up close and personal to them at least.

Thanks @Trevor.Dennis! I haven't posted too much lately to Behance, but I have been busy. I have been enjoying shooting launches, when I'm In California. As far as the whales go, I it is a bit nerve racking kayaking when they're around, Several times, I could see the water roiling around, when they swam under me, but I couldn't see them. The day after I went kayaking with them two women we taken up in the mouth of a humpback, in the same spot I was kayaking.

Leslie, I was hoping you would come up with the idea first, since you are a better cartoonist than I am . . .

That so needs to be put on top of a scarecrow!

It's a nice place to show clove to everyone. 

[davescm]

The cloves fit well in this alien world, bluebrad. Viewed close they do have a strange look to them.
