Challenge 1067: The caged insect
I recently had to go to Cologne for the day for work, and near the splendid cathedral I spotted this bizarre piece of equipment. Luckily it was fenced in. Imagine what would happen if it escaped… High res is here.  |

Lovely city. Very relaxed and laid back. Amazing how a simple basic hoist can manage to look predatory!! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 1067: The caged insect
Fun stuff. I particularly like War of the Worlds. Amazingly, even though you have elevated him to great heights, the perspective still works!! On which topic, if anyone wants fresh views on this beastie you can find them here .... cut out even! I suspect some of you have already found this. But you do know you should be using the supplied version ......... don't you?

That's a long way from your part of the world. I take it you were a photo professional then? _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Although I can't remember you even hinting at it in the past, I have often wondered.
