Challenge 255: Shade and texture
I was walking through a graveyard recently (the way one does) and I was struck by this impromptu still life. Not so much the arrangement of the miscellaneous items, but by the way the elements - the headstone, the watering cans, the pipe box, the statue - have all taken on the same texture and hue, almost as if they were all cast from the same substance.

So I'd like you to add a few more items to this group. The only consideration is that they must blend into the scene: I should not be able to tell at a glance what has been added and what was there originally.

High res is here.

I like the photo Steve. Well spotted. The cherub leaning back against the blocks is rather endearing. Hope I have time to join in the challenge this week.

Gravestones…buckets…late, monkey loving pop-singers…all part of the scenery.

With hits like Beat It, Eddie Van Halen made some of the best music ever.

Here is mine, maybe I should have called it "Dunexterminating" - looks like the cyberman has gone to the big upgrade in the sky too

Apologies to non fans of Dr Who as this one (and possibly the last one!) may not make much sense for them but I thought it was time that I had a little practice with animation - just remember not to blink

Heaps of goodies already. Just spilt a Vodka and orange on my keyboard, so this review is a sticky process!

Love all the angels, cherubs, buttercups and daisies Michael. Lifting the spiritual tone? Definitely!

Is that R2D2 Josephine? Love it!

Nick, how did you do your pebble writing? It's excellent! Not sure about the bridesmaids/vestal virgins!

Great idea to replace the background Emma, and welcome Ivan.

More orange in your vodka required Sophie - nothing from Star Wars in sight (maybe Yoda is hiding behind the watering can eh?)
