Something for the weekend - Part 73 - The Da Vinci Code

[davescm]

Hi

I noticed that it was 500 years ago this month that Leonardo Da Vinci died. Famous for drawing, painting scupting, invention, and science he was certainly imaginative. So I wondered how imaginative we could get with one of his most famous paintings.

Unusually - this is not my starter image but an image downloaded from wikimedia commons. What will you now do with it? Will you show us what she is looking at, put her in a new scene, replace her with some-one else, or something else entirely?

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.

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

I hope I don't get into trouble for this.

Fun fact: the Mona Lisa gained instant fame when she was stolen from the Louvre on August 21, 1911.

Well done, Trevor, with both images!

Hi Trevor:

Loving your Mona Lisas—I feel like I've known that first one my whole life.

~Barb

[Jacob Bugge]

Are you the littler, Barb?

[Barb Binder]

I'm not one of the Mona Lisas, Jacob. But my sister is! (She's also an ACP.)

[Jacob Bugge]

I know, Barb, I asked because you said I feel like I've known that first one my whole life (with no almost added).

Well that cat is just about out of the bag.

[Jacob Bugge]

Let by Tricia.

[Barb Binder]

Lol! Sorry Jacob, I misunderstood your question, obviously. Yes, I am the littler.  And I was instructed by the bigger not to ID her. Littles must continue to obey the bigs even if they are both really old.

Should we remind folk that the banner at the top of the forum is readable ?

We can do that, Dave, but should we also tell folk that you won the Photoshop banner challenge?

Design the Photoshop Forum Banner Challenge - Phase 5

Congratulations, btw!

Yes, an excellent banner. Well done Dave.

HI

Thanks Jane and Derek.

Norman - nice job - in the modern world she probably would just take a selfie
