Hi,
Thanks to all who took part in our last, 'Time and Tide', challenge. We had lots of imaginative ideas and fun interpretations of Dave's photo of a North Yorkshire coastal town.
This week I'm helping Dave out, and I'm going to do something a bit different — mainly because I can't do the amazing photorealistic renders that Dave has started so many SFTW threads with. This Smörgåsbord is an image buffet, many of which I have collected in my travels, and others that I have found online.
The Rules:
- Use as many of my image elements as makes sense for your upload. You can choose your own backgrounds.
- 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! Bonus points if you create something quirky (like my pen/rubber). Minus points if you resort to a Mr Potato Head 😉
- We usually provide starter images to use only for the challenges — they do have a habbit of reappearing in later challenges. As this is a different kind of starter, you are welcome to keep and use my images as you like. Just note that they are not all my images.
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). It is important to save the image to a local drive (rather than right click and copy) in order to retain transparency.

I used five elements. See if you can spot them? Thanks @Trevor.Dennis for the Smörgåsbord!
The base image is from Rio ! The statue was completely shrouded in fog, and our alloted time there was getting shorter and shorter. As we were starting to head back toward the escalators to go back to the bus, the fog and mist suddenly lifted for a short while! But then he really entertained us while I snapped as many images as possible 🙂
" We had been on a Douro River cruise. "
By @Jill_C
Well that's a coincidence. We are doing a Douro cruise with Viking in August. It's a bit of a trip from NZ, so we are doing two weeks in Morocco first, and a few days in Madrid at the end of the cruise. I hear there is a new COVID varient about now, so we'll be doing our best not to ruin more holiday time. A week or so after my COVID in Brazil I had Accute Altitude Sickness in Peru and spent a week in hospital, three of those days in ICU. If my medically trained wife had not realised I was properly crook and let me sleep, I might not have woken up. My blood/Oxygen ratio was 53% when I got to the hospital!
So, other than the COVID, did you enjoy the river cruise?
