Thanks to all who took part in our previous challenges. For the last two challenges we started with small objects, first a spark plug then a dried clove, so I thought this week we should go large. Most artists like a blank canvas and today our canvas is a dry, rocky, and barren landscape. What you put in it, to tell us a story, is up to you.
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!

This planet has been claimed,
What a nice job you've masde of that JR. The glacier fits the contours perfectly, and I love the shadow where the glacier forks. Our glaciers here in NZ are receding dramatically. I love how the ice has ground and polished the rock face on the right, and how it's made the strata much more evident. Assuming that the strata were horizontal when formed, imagine the force needed to rotate that rock through a full 90 °.
I was on this glacier 25 years ago. There were melt holes you could easily slip into (we were wearing hobnailed boots). I asked the guide what happens if someone fell into one of these holes, and he said 'They died'.
It was our hottest day of the year yesterday, and we had the warmest town in the country. Way too hot to do anything outside. Not even my wee dog wanted to go out in it. So spent more time than is probably healthy sitting in front of thew computer... 😞 [EDIT] Firefly used to make the red rose text. Otherwise zero Ai.

I'd been wondering how to introduce a drum for that text and graphic, but Jabba the Hutt's big tummy suddenly lept out on me. A wee bloat with liquify, and it was the perfect shape and in keeping with the rest of the image. It's funny how things work out.
