Edit This April

What a little digging and a few loose bricks can get you

Oh what fun to work on this!

THE GREAT ESCAPE Description ...The Great Escape, photography manipulation, by VIVA Anderson, for Abbie's April Edit-This challenge.

FOR THE RECORD... This is not an application where I inserted a photo. I actually pieced the photo Abbie provided and layered it until I got a cohesive look. It took a while for me to make this happen. You have to have a steady hand, and plenty of patience. Which a couple of times I almost lost it! LOL Once finished, I added a color technique using Photoshop.

My first submission to Abbie Shores April Edit This Challenge (2021).

I digitally stuck a shiny fork in the road and also it's shadow and added text from a Yogi Berra quote... "When you come to a fork in the road, take it". This quote is known along with others from Yogi Berra as "Yogi isms?"

Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra was an American professional baseball catcher, who later took on the roles of manager and coach. He played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball, all but the last for the New York Yankees. Wikipedia

Oh my goodness, you've all done it again. I had a couple of ideas but these are FABULOUS.. Brian, you never cease to amaze me with your quick imagination.

Roger.... How can I not love something that has clones of my pupsicles in?!

This entry needs work, especially the locomotive (delete the steam)



It's 4 AM, gotta get some sleep

Here's mine. Edith, I love the humpty dumpty. Mine can be his "great fall," ha!

The British back roads are charming this time of year. That's why I usually enjoy the long drive to the market to sell my apples. My family, really isn't into it, but it is what it is.

From my orchard to the market place, the distance is quite far, especially when you drive on back roads. But its often worth it, I made a few bucks, pick up supplies and get to look at the countryside. All I hope is that most of the apples stay in the truck this time, they tend to roll out of the basket. But as I always say, follow the trail of apples, and you will find me.

Thanks VIVA for your support. I really appreciate it.

My 2nd submission to Abbie Shores April 2021 edit challenge. I added a girl playing hopscotch alone on the pavement of a deserted street.

Zoom zoom...

Easy Rider

lol...Alison, so funny. Your entry is so lovely!

Covid Fatigue Dreams Yikes!

Skeletons

My 3rd submission to Abbie Shores April 2021 Edit This Challenge.

I added a manhole with the cover partially off and creepy arms reaching out as a female bicyclist passes by. I added shadows for all the additions and a few filters from ON1 software to tie it all together with a subtle vignette and soft glow.

My 3rd version of the rearranged wall with the creation of the tunnel. In all 3 the fisherman was added also.

The Rabbit...

These are all fabulous! Seriously... well the hands creep me out a little

What amazing edits!

Thanks Abbie for your encouraging remarks throughout the submission period. It really does help with motivation. (The hands ARE creepy, but that's what was intended and I know you secretly love it! LOL)

Thank you, Abbie. I know this is a little crazy, but an Alien arrives at a drive-in theater.

Haha Alien drive-in. Whatever next!!

Yes I did, Brian, but don't tell anyone, lol

These are always so fun to look at.

@Mike your stories regarding your pictures are always fascinating. Have you ever written a book? If not, you should.

books take a lot of time, you need pictures to go with them etc. i create short paragraphs that more or less make sense.

Abbie, Your secret is semi-safe with me. ;)

Honestly, I didn't even see the other 'Alien' themed images that had already been submitted. So many minds thinking along the same lines. As usual, I was inspired to try some more fun editing, and that's what led me here.

Who else could we find along this road?

Been awhile since I tried one of these but something about that little stretch of road called me.



A combination of photomanipulation in Photoshop and some digital painting in Corel Painter.

These are wonderful.

I tried a third one! All of the images mashed up in the three edits I've created are my own; taken from parades, car shows, and costume parties that I photographed. The picnic basket and alien space ship were taken from royalty free image sites. Thanks for the fun, Abbie.

Awesome! Well done!

I have just been to remove the normal suspects from the images page who have never seen this thread, and I see lots of NEW members joining in!!! So to all of them WELCOME and thank you for getting involved!!

Very cool work there guys!
