Challenge 835: A grave business, part 2
I posted the Challenge A grave business back in 2005, which led to a spread in HotChiPs showing how I'd approach the question of digging a grave from scratch. (If you're interested, you can see a two minute version of it here). In the sequel the grave has already been dug for you, in this tableau from Ipswich Museum. Can you make the scene look real? High res is here.  |

Following my perspective problems with my own image this one could prove very interesting. An unusual downward angle. Challenge within a challenge. A grave problem indeed. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don't. Looking at this you can see clearly what I wanted to do! Somehow I got lost midway and got into one those situations where you patch and patch and patch and it gets no better. In the end you need to simply start again. I have neither the time nor patience for that so presenting as is warts and all.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

A good idea David, but a tad too far away. |

Jim. It has the feel of an old tinted steel engraving. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Not my week this week. I shall retire gracefully with this second, rather desperate, entry. 
When I was a small boy we used to go for Sunday Tea at my grandfathers. He was a widower who had a live in cook and housekeeper. She was very 'proper' and used to make that quintessentially British 'Tea' of thin cucumber sandwiches on soft squidgy white bread with the crust cut off paired with sandwiches with a mean little smear of Shippam's fish and meat paste. They used to come stacked on a three tiered server like the one in the picture here. Fortunately the dreary housekeeper's dreary tea was more than compensated for by Grandpa's wonderful buoyant personality. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Being of Germanic descent the Saxons liked everything to be neat and tidy, particularly their burial grounds as you never know how picky future archaeologists will be when they turn up a few hundred years later Alles ist in Ordnung

I have to confess Mariner I had to look it up. I only know a very little German. He's five foot tall and his name is Hans. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

That's OK, that's what translate.google.com is for. I spent many years as a common market worker in Germany. My French is only schoolboy, and so is my Russian. |
