I have decided to start a little competition right here on AMHD. I will give you a picture. I then want you to alter it via a graphics program and send it back to me. Whoever does the best job of altering the picture wins the prize.

Closing date will be 1st August

The prize will be a book on the subject of your choice. We are an expert help site so I think this is a suitable prize. Say you are constantly asking questions about the internet, well then you could win a book on the internet. The book will be priced around £20-25 and I will take suggestions (although I get the end choice of prize).

Rules:
Keep it clean - no swearing, no dirty material etc.
Original ideas are obviously going to score higher. Shoving a few Star Wars characters into the photo isn't going to win you anything.
The judges decision is final
No cash/other alternatives to the prize are offered.
I reserve the rights to alter any of the competition details between now and the closing date.Enteries should be emailed to: [email protected]
Just send the image file - no zips please.

All we need is a picture. Oooo... Let me think. Where could I find a picture we could use as the base for this competition. Sorry Rick. GET DRAWING PEOPLE!

Some graphics programs to get you on your way:
Paint .Net (http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/)
Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/)
Pixel (http://www.kanzelsberger.com/)

Subtle or maybe not! A quickie

Nice one :)

Aah, good one. You beat me to it!

These are so cool.
I haven't got a clue what to do :o :( But I know ill enjoy seeing these pics

I'm not really any good at this, but diversions are fun :D

Dream on Rick.

I've got a good idea for one but it's going to take a while.

Now look what you have gone and done.
The times are all busted.
First post 2:47 Pm GMT
Second post 9:53 am GMT

Quick whose using the TARDIS again!


One above me 11:17 am this one 4:18 pm

Ben, yours shows 11:18 AM for me... which would be correct for my zone.
Hmmm...
In fact, all posts in this thread look fine to me time-wise. Dump that cache. Bet it's another FunkyFireFox issue.

Oh well must be just the Brits again.
Sounds normal to me :o

Oh well the server time is correct so no worries really.

Agreed.We are all on Cyber-time.

Looks good to me. Maybe you and Nez just had one too many beers at lunch :P

Rick, 'member that time we went to Montreal and you got hammered (3 beers) and that french girl wanted to go to the lookout with you? Wait I have a pic...

That's more like it! Now keep them coming. I want the winning picture to be worth the prize you are getting

Rick, 'member that time we went to Montreal and you got hammered (3 beers) and that french girl wanted to go to the lookout with you? Wait I have a pic ......

Lol, yeah, but the best part was when I thought we were out of booze, but you pulled that bottle out of the backpack that's next to you. :p :p

All I want to know is does the prize include shipping?
(winks at Curlyben... :p )

Looks like Rick has been raiding Fr Chuck's closet AGAIN!! :eek:

Dang, I have to spread more love Mom.

That is GREAT!!

Bows humbly, thank you thank you thank you.

All I want to know is does the prize include shipping?
(winks at Curlyben... :p )

Yes, I'll either ship it or order it from a site within the winner's country and get it shipped to them that way.

OK... Im in... now forgive me. Im at work and couldn't take TOO much time on this :cool:

LOL GoooOOooolly Jiz! (in my best Gomer Pyle)

And here I was actually fretting a little bit that mine might be taken as disrespectful, which was NOT intended LOL :o

Never mind NOW! :eek: :eek: :eek:

PS I like the almost subliminal pandering to the judge, very clever, you wise guy. Two can play THAT game, brahahahahaha!!

I suppose I should add that I hold rickj with the highest respect and I always have. I mean absolutely no disrespect. I even threw a Buddha in there just to even the playing field.

In light of all the religious controversy that we hold so dear :p when I thought of "altering" rickj's pic, that was the first thing that came to mind. Obviously, this is the last place that any of us would really expect rickj to end up :)

I hope you know that I mean that, rickj :D

you, too LTheobald... lol

Thanks! Lol now you are making me feel really bad :p

Aw, Jizz, I was only kidding about yours, I lurve it!. boo hoos in her hankie over the stiff competition!

WOW WOW WOW...YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!

Hehehehe this is well funny!

DrJizzle - and you said you couldn't take much time to do it...
Im impressed... well done.
Thumbs up from Krs :)

Oh my, what a hoot! I haven't laughed out loud like this in a long time!

Oh my, what a hoot!! I haven't laughed out loud like this in a long time!!

LOL that's what I like to hear! I have another great idea for that pic... maybe if I can find the time today or tomorrow, I will get it up, too! :cool:

They seek him here, they seek him there...

I see him! He's behind the sprinkler!

Colbtech,
Holy crap, that's some sweet Photoshop cloning! Kudos!

Thanks, amazing what you can do when you're bored at work on a Friday afternoon.

Wasn't too sure about it first, but it looks as if he has an invisiblity cloak around him. Benefits of a Star Trek education!

Very clever Colbtech! Can you make me a cloak like that too? Actually I would settle for my flip cell phone to make that Startrek noise when I flip it open-- can you manage that please?

Well, it took 14 hours of working in Photoshop but this is what I came up with:

Lol, hi brother! :p :p

Well now that you mention it...

LOL nice!!

LOL bravo!

Well, being something of a wildlife photographer, I couldn't resist adding my quick contribution:
1215
I tried to make Rick a bit larger, and the snake's head a bit more bloated than I made it, but I'm just not real skilled with Photoshop. Anyhow...
All in good fun, of course. Should my karma for this one ripen, that deer might kick my innards out yet! ;) :)

Thomas interesting pic actually :)

Is that you ?

Thanks Krs. Thanks Val. I thought yours was great too! :)

This is great. I like the contrast between the photographic and illustrative elements. :)

A lot of work put into this. Just wondering where the greater evil lies, bottom left corner or top right? :)

This is a great idea.

My life is insane enough I cannot do anything with the pic right now, but I really hope this becomes an occasional challenge here. Love it!

I'll be game for finding a new challenge every now and then.

I'm going to extend the deadline till the 11th August (my birthday!) as I want to get a picture up myself to spur some people on :)

A leo man ;)

Theo the Leo, hmmm maybe it might be a poem contest next time, eh Krs?

Val you got me there lol
I didn't even think of it but theo the leo... very good :)

An August man! Peridot stone!lol
