I can't see the joke in no.7. Because I feel pretty sure a fair majority in the current U.K. Conservative would enact this to the letter thereby killing off the homeless - and claiming a victory.

Really enjoyed this 'competition'. Glad I found an image that didn't draw any criticism and one that, hopefully, people enjoyed working worth. My favourite was the 'pencil sketch' but, hey, that's just me.

Also pleased with the previous result which afforded me my first outright win in this competition and looking forward to further practising my editing skills within it.

Still looking for more, if there is more to be had. But I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, so thanks for that.

I'm hoping to replicate what dannac has done, and I'll be very happy to get somewhere near to that.

You probably know Scilily better than Inspector Montalbano by now. Very enjoyable series.

Just so you know (worth watching if you can get it) -

Some years back we had a family dinner on the first anniversary of my B.I.L's passing. I rather liked the light in this after dinner view of the table which had my Tilley hat on it.

It was thought that it could make a more memorable shot if I replaced my hat with the 'Cowboy' hat he was often to be seen wearing. The attached photo is what I've made from the original shot and a separate shot made of his hat at a later date and in a different location.

The room was shot on my Canon G16 point and shoot and the hat on my Canon 60D. I should have paid much more attention to the light and I think the size of the hat in the frame. It is a much more detailed image (which I've softened with a slight blur) but it still looks like it's dropped in.

I'm using AFFINITY v2, and I'm slow picking up pp but if anyone is able to offer some tips to assist in removing the floating appearance of the hat his siblings would appreciate it.

I'm not fully conversant with layers so the 'finished' image is all I have, apart from the originals. I'll be going back to restart this armed with better advice.

Nice, particularly the architectural ones.

Even the Pilot(s) can't steer a boat without power. I thought I heard that the crew called in to say they'd suffered a catastrophic loss of power before the collision.

The starred image is the F14 single frame. Power of the UH forum, on Facebook it looks opposite.

I took this a while back, and it demonstrates my early failings in being able to exploit post processing software.
I'm minded to see what I can do with it now but looking forward to your own interpretations.

Some info on this ruin for those interested;
