Something for the Weekend - Part 235 - Rocky X

[davescm]

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!

Version 2 is my favorite - I like the way you "greened it up"!

[Christelle RD]

I love the second one too!
Let's add some life with grass and lichens 🙂

[davescm]

Three for the price of one Nils!

The second one is my pick of the three, I love the greenery which work well with the new sky colouring.

Version 2 for me too... Great job on the three!

[Monika Gause]

A small step for mankind ...

[Trevor.Dennis]

This should get extra points for the smiles.  

If you zoom way in you can see this little guy.

[Monika Gause]

Awesome, I love it and now I'm envious of the great idea 😄

[PaintedKitty]

Really love this idea!

[AlanGilbertson]

Playing with scale is awesome. Love this! (And yeah, Trevor kinda nailed it!)

[davescm]

Very good Monika. There were no references for scale in the starter image so the large boot is as valid as any other interpretation.
Trevor, I love the expression on the ant as the boot comes down. Excellent.
Dave

[fbeaume]

Great idea to bring us a new point of view!
Well done Monika!

Nothing to see here...

[davescm]

Haha - a nice use of the rocks and the top of the alien head in the helmet tells the story. Nice!

Reminds me of a beer I saw at a local European market on Sunday. I suppose you might start to see them if you drink too much as well.  😁😉

In the best pantomime tradition - ' He's behind you...'

[fbeaume]

It reminds me my childhood TV shows! Love that!

[PaintedKitty]

Its very Power Rangers. 

Only it could use a few more of them in the foreground.

[Christelle RD]

I tried to add some life.

 

[davescm]

It is amazing how the scale of the empty landscape can be interpreted differently, and yet they all work. I like this, warming up the rock colours helps, and the water also works well.

Nicely done Christelle! Great job on lights!

I love the long bushy tail, but am keeping my distance from those red eyes!

I was wondering where this new planet was. It has some atmosphere, judging by the sky, so either it is a newly reached planet, or you have discovered a way of introducing an atmosphere to the moon. Either way, it is a win!
