Excuse me, small variant on my earlier contribution following China's comment and to be closer on brief.

Hello Deborah, thank you. I took the photo’s myself using a tripod and the camera self timer (10sec delay) just couldn’t find suitable images; it seemed an easy way out.  |

Great to see your gif james. Thought something was missing. 
Deborah, now that is something I was aspiring to, but ran out time (excuse), really great entry!
Great entries all. |

Re: Challenge 288: A load of tripe
Very impressive work this week - some meticulous detailing, and, as usual, a wide variety of approaches. First up was GKB, with an immaculately recreated store front - perfect lettering, and the faded paint technique on the shutters is thoroughly convincing. A really great idea, Gordon, beautifully achieved. And I see I have one customer already! The new shop front from tooquilos makes the building into a much more up-market concern - I like the banner, the bags, and of course the great slices of tripe on the pavement and in the window. And, thanks to the animated version, we now know what a tripe dresser does! Fantastic movement, and a terrific selection of frocks! A neat social commentary from brewell: Ronald McDonald's pose is perfect, the McDonald's store front fits neatly next to the original - and the queue of people gets the point across well. I like the disgusting strings of tripe in the window! Great attention to detail, Bruce. A cleaned-up street from Carlo Alessandro Della Valle, with a very neat building next door. I like the opening of the shutter, but the perspective on the interior seems a little wrong: those white lines painted on the road give you the angle for the floor/wall join, and so for the rail the tripe is hanging on as well. And remember, people's eyes should be on the same eye line as the viewer: move the chef down! (And if he's not a chef but a tripe dresser, take off the chef's hat.) A very clean entry from Nick Curtain, with smart shutters and an entry phone - and the boy walking past does give it a sense of scale. Should we be able to see a slight reflection of the shutters in that wet road surface? Another shutter, this one from Ben Mills - well, it does get round the problem of the interior! A clever reference to the lavatory next door, and there's something very appealing about the man coming out - he has a drunken elegance to him. An unusually static image from james, with a new corner to replace the crumbling edge - and some truly odd decorations on the shutters. Beware of using the same shutter twice, though, especially when it has such a recognisable shadow on it. Aha! There's the animated version! Really clever - I like the way he chases the sheep out. Couple of points: the figure waiting on the far left pops back in at one point. And when he's standing in front of the shutter, the shadow should be vertical, not at an angle! Did you model for this yourself? A gloomy and macabre entry from color, with a very strong sense of atmosphere. I like the texture and shading here - a powerful image. Just one thing: the name of the shop should be sheared, not rotated: keep the verticals vertical! Detailed, thoughtful work from katew, with a fully rebuild shop front. The interior view works really well (I assume all tripe sellers are tall and thin). Flipping the ceiling light on the left horizontally would have helped the perspective here. The view through the door, though, shows an interior wall and floor perspective that couldn't work with this scene - better to draw your own, I think. I like the character outside, and his reflection. So what was yesterday's Special? Dressed tripe again? A hog roasting scene from Jota120 - that's the first time I've seen someone wearing aviator goggles at a barbecue! The extremely convincing smoke does blend the foreground very nicely into the scene. And the second entry is much more on-topic - good work! I like the way you've distorted the shop front to fit the perspective of the market in the third entry - and the extended floor works particularly well. A truly astonishing array of meat in the fourth entry - just the way to store meat in a hot climate, eh? A perfect new show front from vibeke, that's an excellent fit to the original. Not sure about distorting the bottom to fit the angle of the road, though: better simply to extend the bottom part to meet the shape. I like the dog and the bike, although reflections in that wet surface would have helped (we can see the reflection of the shop edge through where the dog's reflection should be). What an extraordinary butcher this is! Cows' feet and chicken feet, eh? Yum. A great new shop front from laddition, with excellent lettering and decoration. The recessed door should face the other way - we're looking at the shop from the left. I really like the butcher, with his handful of disgusting tripe: mais ou sont les andouilettes? A beautiful entry from LonnieK , with a cleaned up exterior and new shutters. The best part, of course, is the period car starting to come out of the garage: the shading, the shadows beneath, the dusty nature of the car, all fit perfectly with this scene. And the angle of view is also exactly right. Excellent. A terrific fit on Josephine Harvatt's shop front - I like the Chick Lit in a Basket, but I might choose a Pot Boiler myself. Still - all that tripe, and not a Dan Brown in sight? Clever work, good attention to detail! A surreal and clever idea from China, the old shop being unzipped to reveal the new one behind. I like the way we can see the original sign reversed on the inside of the fabric - a very nice touch. Some good distortion here, but you would be better drawing a new zipper - that one has been enlarged a step too far. I like the way the lettering in the second entry has been distressed on the shutters - a good use of that design! A great entry from tomiloi, with the Queen clutching her bag of offal as she makes her way back to the car. Some great touches here - the guardsmen, the red carpet, the striped awning; and the interior of the butcher's is a good fit. But you need to finish off the counter on the right - at the moment, it disappears into the floor. An edge would be easy to make. I like the thought bubble with the crown built in! Magnificent work from Deborah Morley: the level of detail here is astonishing. Everything has been immaculately cleaned-up, the new shop front is perfect; the interior, the tripe hanging in the window, the new lettering on the glass are perfect. Then there's the period detail: the passers-by, complete with reflections in the window; the newspaper salesman and the placard; and the new, dry pavement to finish it off. Deborah, this is an amazingly good piece of work! I can see it must have taken hours - and worth every minute. |

Thank you Steve! |

Incidentally, here's a butcher's shop I photographed in Morocco a couple of years ago. Delicious!  |

Thanks Steve "Should we be able to see a slight reflection of the shutters in that wet road surface?" - Possibly, but any more than the old doors would have? Nick |

Re: Challenge 288: A load of tripe
Thanks again for you comments Steve
Agree, (I like the butcher's shop you photographed in Morocco  great), yet my start image was freezing and very arid. December in Shigatse Tibet at 3900m! Preparations circa for their New Year festival there. The meat is Yak, sheep and goat animals (I think), including their offal and heads. I had to remove a lot of it, so could see the door!

Thank you Steve - as for Dan Brown - did you not check the round OPEN sign in the window? _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Thanks Steve. You're right about the door. I just have so much trouble with perspective that by the time I got to the door I'd lost the will to live! |
