Nice entries everyone 
This image was taken of "Little Hercules" a Ukrainian by birth but he and his family went to America in the 90s to continue his father's obsessive body-building regime on the little boy. 
Anyway. this what the statue gets up to when no one is looking.
It is entitled: "Tastes like chicken to me"

I hadn't heard of Little Hercules. So I looked him up. What bizarre story. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

I like David's tartan, breathalyzer( ) and other entry.
Good one's Loyd - somewhat difficult subject in my opinion. Never heard of Little Hercules before - different. Wasting good wine there Ben. |

When I started this, I had no idea of where it was going. It finally evolved into this simulation of a slight parallax view... other than that, it's certainly open for interpretation.  |

Re: Challenge 943: Nativity barf
Thank you Loyd. Yes I’ll post a couple of images. It wasn’t the best shoot I’ve ever done but there were a few good pics. _________________ Have you ever noticed that all the instruments designed to detect intelligent life are pointing away from the Earth? |

Michael--not unusually--here was another boring challenge by Steve; however, you have turned Steve's "dirty pebble" into a shining diamond with the usual hard work. What a beautifully appealing piece of artwork: well done!  |

Frank. A giant ocarina! Very clever. It's interesting, when I look at your really lovely treatment of this Micheal, how the puffed cheeks, after removing the object, leave a very bizarre character who looks to be a couple of bricks shy of a full set. Ben. I love the wine flask. I was once handed one of these to drink from by my Spanish lighting crew during a break in filming in Madrid. It's really difficult!! You are not supposed to let it touch your mouth. You squirt it from a slight distance. I should have known from the foolish grins on their faces that I was about to make a complete fool of myself! I am still wondering what this object really is. My first thought was also a leather flask of some kind, but the cheeks seem to imply blowing rather than sucking. I wonder if Steve knows and will let on come critique time. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 943: Nativity barf
David I agree. I very nearly called my image Young moron with fishing rod. While working on it I was constantly reminded of Doctor Johnson's definition of angling as “a stick and a string, with a worm on one end and a fool on the other”. |
