Bogley Photoshop Contest

I saw this on a website, and then our Delicate Arch thread made me think it would be fun to do here.

Here is what we do, everyone takes the same image. I randomly chose this one:

You can download a higher quality version of this image from this link:

Now you either make it look cooler, funny, whatever. A week from today, we start again with a different image.

And I'd be cool with skipping this image and going with something else. I just thought I'd try and get the ball rolling.

I got nothin'...

[Redpb]

I'm game... see ya in a week

[DiscGo]

Udink- I liked yours enough to call my wife over. I used to have that album.

[DiscGo]

I already spent my photoshop time budget today on a different post, but here is my entry for our competition.

I preferred Udink's picture, but at least I did something.

Dang, I missed this thread, I'll think of something.

K, dude so your week long timeframe didn't produce much but since I just got PS-I'll throw my first one up here.

I seem to have a lot of time to kill at work lately, so I'll see if I can come up with something else too.

Kev,

I can't see yours... where did it go?

[DiscGo]

Way cool. How did you make it look like it was raining?

[DiscGo]

blueeyessmiling- That was very clever! I liked it :)

Don was an especially nice touch :)

Kev,

Oops! Fixed...

Way cool. How did you make it look like it was raining?

Here's a good tutorial on that:

I can now see Kev's and it is funny.

My plan was to do a different picture every week, but I have really enjoyed these "late" entries :)

Thanks

Yea, there are a lot of tutorials out there. Basically I just created a rain drop on a black image, 250x250 pixels, blurred it some (wind blur 2x, flip the image 90 degrees and small Gaussian blur) , then inverted the colors, so the rain drop was black on a white field. Then saved it as a brush preset.

On the image, just added a new layer and painted rain drops. I also copied the figures with the magic wand, to a new layer, then flipped that layer upside down and lined up the feet so it looked like a reflection on the wet sidewalk. Also darkened the entire image, then erased the darkening effect from the figures in the foreground.

Ok. Somebody post a new one and let's play again!

[CarpeyBiggs]

Alright, lots of potential with this one... It used to say "Go USA." Have fun...

[Redpb]

meh, it was a quicky. I missed out on the last one.
