Something for the Weekend - Part 251 - Lemons and Limes!

[davescm]

Hi,
Thanks to all who submitted images in our previous album cover challenge. There were some great ideas and great covers.

This week we start with 4 simple fruit. You can use one or all of them in creating a new image. The only limit is your imagination, how far can you take 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”.
• The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used. 
• 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 newest fruit! The limon!

Ah ah, excellent !

C'est une fausse blonde ou bien a-t-elle fait teindre sa moustache ?

[Trevor.Dennis]

I asked Generative Fill to place her in the background.  My prompt was something like 'A young woman with a black and white striped shirt, wearing a French style black beret. The lady has a sterotypical moustache' . I used the Firefly 3 model, and this was the best out of six (the first three were pants).  None of them had a moustache, so I had to add that.  I was going for irony while hoping not to be rude about French people.   The location is not even in France judging from the English.  This took maybe five minutes, but I don't feel bad about that as I sometimes spend hours on these uploads.  I especially enjoyed the album cover thread, and I absolutely loved some of the images that generated.

I was wondering about doing a 'movie poster' SFTW.   Either recreate an existing poster, but mostly for people to design their own about real or made up movies or TV shows.  Would that work @davescm ?

@Trevor.Dennis I'll add your idea to the list for a future SFTW. 🙂

[JR Boulay]

There is nothing rude about this, the French have a sense of humour, even when they are transported to an Anglo-Saxon environment. 😉

However, you should know that the beret is a very old cliché, the French stopped wearing them a long time ago. Today, you still see a few old men wearing them in the Pays Basque (a region in the south-west straddling France and Spain), but it's becoming increasingly rare.

[Leslie Moak Murray]

It must be so annoying, I know! For Americans and others, it's visual shorthand, like a turban says India and wooden shoes say Holland!

[Turtle.PSD]

Haha, the girl with the mustache truly ties it all together.

[davescm]

Garlic, limes and lemons. I'm trying to think up a recipe! 🙂 Nice one Trevor.
Dave

[Nick Gioia]

Chicken piccata.

[Nick Gioia]

This is really well done.

You can have all the Photoshop skills in the world, and they'd still be no substitute for true artistic talent and imagination.  This is beautiful.  It's maybe a shame that the lemon slice glasses are not a perfect fit for the image, but they link the image to this week's SFTW brief, so I guess they have to be there.

[daniellei4510]

I went a little further with it with green apples and lettuce. 🙂

[Trevor.Dennis]

Hah! I love that lettice ruff.  I think the apple glasses would have worked well on the initial image.  The lemon slices clashed with the rest of the image IMHO.

[davescm]

I like that, Daniel, it would make a good poster for a new eye spray or similar. 
Dave

[Nick Gioia]

I would try this.  Reminds me of She-Hulk.

[JR Boulay]

Is this recycling? 🙂

This made me laugh JR.  I looked at this and wondered how the scale compared to reality?  I was thinking that the sun would be bigger, but a quick Google suggests that you are much closer than I thought.  So thanks for today's science lesson 🙂

[JR Boulay]

About fifteen years ago, I spent many hours creating a SWF application about the relative sizes of the planets and their distance from the sun.
It was originally a project I did for my children and my niece, but I improved it considerably before releasing it to the public.
I did it with Adobe ROME,a software programme whose development was ultimately abandoned, it never progressing beyond version 0.9.
Now it's all gone into the dustbin of digital history (SWF and ROME).

[davescm]

I like it JR. 
There is a cycle path near York in the UK, that has models of the sun and planets to scale in both size of the spheres and distances between them. Setting out from the 'sun', within a few hundred metres you pass mercury, venus, earth and mars , but getting to the larger outer planets takes a few kilometres, with the whole model spread over 10 kilometers (Sun to Pluto). It does put the distances into perspective as well as the relative sizes.

Ahh, a new planet has been discovered. Clever.
