Hi
Another weekend is coming up. They do seem to come around faster as I get older !
For this weekend I bring you a very cold ocean with enough ice to keep your drinks cool for the rest of the year. What will you make with it?
As always, 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.
There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side. This is to stop the thread slowing down when lots of images are added.
To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).
Have fun
Dave

Well I have liked it, but I don't have a clue what is going on there Jacob. If your tightrope walker really has his 'ducks in a row', then he should surely be better prepared. And as for the flagrant 'orange' object on the left, you little stirrer you.
jane-e imagine how much grief your sign might have saved, if only it were not for the fog on that fateful day. I expect that there is a parallel universe somewhere, where the Titanic did not sink, and was now a floating casino on the Hudson River, and Leonard Decaprio worked behind one of its bars, and Kate Winslet was a waitress in a tea shop in Stratford-on-Avon when not guiding American tourists around Shakespeare's haunts.

Trevor, it turns out there is a parallel universe and the Titanic lives on as a museum in Branson, Misssouri. Although I refused to visit the shows that invaded and destroyed this once quaint town, a dear cousin talked me into going to this museum on one of our annual outings to visit our aunt.
Welcome Aboard Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, MO
This museum comes with its own iceberg and no fog.
And isn’t that orange thing a carrot? The ducks are pirates, so maybe it’s a gangplank? I can’t tell what the red and green things are. We might need closeups, Jacob.

I don’t speak British, not even in pictures, and I can hardly type for laughing!
This is the first time ever in my life I have heard the term “wheelie bin” and so I looked it up to find that ”wheelie bin” is used in the UK, Australia, and NZ. We call it a garbage can or trash can, etc., and these days they have closed lids. I should have seen that one in the picture anyway, though. I’ll blame my bad eyes and small iPad screen.
We are more likely to call it a mail box, although we might also say post box. But ours do not look like that red one and I did not know what it was by the picture. Ours are blue and a different shape.
Now I know both, and I‘m sure I‘m a better person for it!

Jane, and Trevor,
You are looking at (some of) the ones that got away.
The big and very pale one to the left is a bit worse for wear, having lost his hat, eyes, teeth, scarf, and buttons, but still keeping his nose clean, and still managing to hold the rope tight.
The small and less pale one sitting on the rope has made yet another comeback in untried surroundings, after the recent appearance in 45, maybe a bit old and grey more than a century and a half after being first across the Niagara Gorge, and resting before returning to his tent after posting and binning, soon tired of waiting for the post and bin man.
The red one needed change and managed to get an overseas posting.
The green one was the second from the left in the bin identity parade, and had to make a roll for it, since Dave and (the rest of) the team found it out in 61 (we never heard which side they were seen from when counting).
The four yellow ones made it through the Northwest Passage mapping mission and escaped the big Gyre, leaving the other 29,000 behind.
And what Dave said.

Oh, my pet cougar, Trevor! My aunt would have love that! It's been almost five years since she passed at the age of 93. She was a whiz with Photoshop and awesome beyond imagination.
Here are two more photos of her. We were making a fuss over the photo on the left and she struck the pose for us. Luckily, I had a camera in my hand.
Trevor, the constructed way I sentence that, you'd never guess that I majored in English...
