Some really outstanding pics last week, well done and thanks to all. This week is a bit of challenge, the main interest is tucked up in the corner leaving about 75% of the pic almost bare. I know you will all find a way of overcoming this, so here is Elvis' pic of the Pier in Gt. Yarmouth. ( I think) ;D OOPs!....Looks like TinyPic is having problems, photos have gone walkabout. I'll try and re-upload pics later.......getting a site Maintainence message. .... looks like we're back in business. ;D

Great stuff KC, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist all that open space. First one made me laugh,and the other two are also first class. I'm not much good at that kind of thing, so I'll stick to playing with colours and textures. ;D

Well I cut the space out of the last one Nocky, but I used the forground to balance it out. I just hope no one goes checking the boat number and finds out it was stolen from Dungeness.

I remember Great Yarmouth - miles and miles of sand that constantly covered everything and the only scenery a wind farm.

Very surreal Angel, Jeeps and a Penguin in a vortex, great graphic. It's nearly 50 years since I spent a day in Gt.Yarmouth, so this night-time scene is strctly imaginary. ;D

Better show everyone how to get there and fill up all that empty space

I wonder if the Great Yarmouth Council will buy it.

You can book me up for a visit if they do KC, that looks lovely. It would be even better if they had night skies like this. ;D

Miserable weather, so stayed in and amused myself playing with FotoMix freebie. Results follow. ;D

Still in the middle of my purple phase, or should that be haze. ;D

That's a very nice sky KC. I'm back playing with textures, and here's one I "knitted" earlier. ;D

I realised that Ken, I just thought you did a great job merging it. , meanwhile, here's another hand knitted sky. ;D

I use ImageSkill Background Remover 3 Nocky, it comes with Coral Photo Pro 2 X Ultimate. As long as you have good contrast between what you want to leave and whats got to be removed, its really easy to use. It only becomes tricky when working with light colours and then you have to be very careful. I have been using nothing but Coral since Christmas, I'm finally beginning to get there and learning the tricks.
I like your knitting. I have got some printing canvas that I use to print special portraits and they look really great.

That's some fancy re-development there Angel, but personally, I'd prefer something along these lines...........Snap Ken, posted exactly the same time. ;D

I thought it was time to make my pictures a bit more realistic.

I was wondering when the oil from that burning rig would come ashore, very realistic KC, and a nice one too Elvis.

Thanks each. Looks a bit more normal for Yarmouth, than the Northern Lights over the palm trees.
I like the fish eye with the oil painting effect, it tightens everything up in an abstracty sort of way.
