Question

Something for the weekend - Part 63 - Spring

Hi

This coming week brings us the first days of Spring in the northern hemisphere. So, I thought we should have a suitable spring-time image to start off the weekend. This is Thorp Perrow, near Bedale in North Yorkshire, England.

What will you with it do to mark the beginning of spring?

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

    Adding some of the weather we're having on this end at the moment.


    For those interested, I added rain by
    - Adding a black layer.
    - Added noise to that layer and scaled up.

    - Changed the blend to screen.
    - Added motion blur
    - Played around with levels, brightness, contrast.

    Hi

    Ponytail - there'll be no daffodills left once Bambi has finished them off ! I love the bath cartoon, the dog with the snorkel is a great touch.

    Jacob - moths or butterflies ?

    Nancy - nice one and spot on for this weekend!

    Dean - that looks more like today's spring weather. We might have to have a "change the weather" challenge on weekend.

    Great ideas and there is still time for more.

    Lesley, I love the lady in the bath.  It is great to have original artwork in these threads.

    A reminder for Dave, Ged, and Terri (wherever she has got to).

    BTW  I am having to sign back in to the forum every time I come back to it recently.  I have it set to remember me of course.  The timing correlates with when I reinstalled Windows 10, so if someone can confirm it is just me, I'll keep looking into what I have stuffed up.

    BTW 2  We are talking about leaving our clocks permanently on Daylight Savin, which would suit me  just fine.

    I've been experiencing the same thing. Also on Windows 10. Not sure if here was an update recently. I am using a temporary work one as had problems with my main one.

    Well color me obvious.   But with St. Patty's day only a few hours away, I couldn't resist.

    Hi

    A very uplifting weekend to see all those nice spring images.

    Rista - that's a lovely butterfly, did you do it in Illustrator or Photoshop? I had one of those springs when I was, much, younger. We called them Slinkys

    Trevor - clever idea ! As for the video , can we unsee it

    Ponytail - Another happy dog (or a worn out one). I also like the other image but she appears to have pinched the flowers

    Graham - who is he? Have we been photo-bombed ?

    KPhotopage - Those made me laugh and are sure to put a spring in your step!

    Joan - That's a large family outing !

    Thanks all so far - Ged mustn't be back or we would have at least one giraffe!
