Challenge 661: It's all mine
I encountered this converted mine on the promenade overlooking the pier at Southwold, on the east coast of England (home, incidentally, of Tim Hunkin's magnificent alternative amusement arcade). Can you put this wartime relic back into active service? High res is here.

All I know about WW2 mines is that they were round with knobs on. No pretence at naval accuracy or authenticity is made here. This proved much harder than I expected ..............

When converting to a GIF file where there is a lot of blue/cyan and red, you must remember to knock those two colours right down, and in spite of my best efforts the mine is still a reddish brown where in fact it should reflect the surrounding hue of the background.

That has to be the fastest ocean liner I have ever seen.

I saw a loto of sea! Which is nice and logical but I am a Dutchman! Crazy as always. Hope I do not offend Japanese photoshoppers!

This is like one those spot the difference competitions. Slightly deeper shadows?  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
