Challenge 1129: Fairy Tale
This week's Challenge is courtesy of GKB, who spotted this woodland cottage in Colmar, Alsace. The sign outside clearly identifies it as the home of Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother. Anyone feeling wolfish? High res is here.  |

The whole of Colmar is a tourist trap - a nice tourist trap but definitely a tourist trap🤣 _________________ Whatever you do in life do it with the enthusiasm of a 4-year old in a Batman suit. |

Re: Challenge 1129: Fairy Tale
Yes I'd guessed that. I don't know Colmar, but there's something very kitsch about much of Alsace and its gingerbread architecture. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

In Grandma's honour. Who did the gobbling? There's no little house in this image. Just an after-party celebration in honour of Grandmother, in the tavern at the castle beyond!

Lovely Ben. Are we the only one's here this week? Everybody else must have hangovers from Halloween...except for Michael. He'll be hard at work on his image. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 1129: Fairy Tale
Hi Dennis, I was just about to comment on your ribs at the tavern image. Very nicely done, beautifully lit. I have been a bit concerned this year, noticing the number of people submitting work has fallen. It worries me that there won't be enough to keep Steve interested. |

Ben, I hope not. Steve has been responsible for some of my best PS work. The Friday challenges make you think out of the box. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 1129: Fairy Tale
As you are aware Steve I lost use of PS for a while as my Mac needed a major upgrade. So with all the changes and updates to PS and my new operating system ( Golden Gate on an M6 Mac mini) I have been trying all the new gadgets. Hence this image was created in part by me and trying out the new AI Assist I asked it to make the wolf appear mean, make riding hood look scared, and place granny in the door . So here it is partial Ai and partial my own research. I have mixed feelings on using AI but I think it will probably become the norm in the near future.  [/url] |
