Photoshop Contest: Engines

PhotoshopPosted by Staaan

Just like in the previous photoshop contest, you are given a source photo to work with.

Your goal is to manipulate the photo in any way you want and turn it into a work of art. You can use Photoshop or any other digital image manipulation software.

This source photo is one of a plane engine. It was suggested by 'rturnbow' on Pxleyes almost 5 years ago:

source photo
— source photo —

You can find a high resolution version of the photo HERE

Be creative, and let's do some old school photo manipulations!

PS: It's very important to vote on every entry, the more votes we get, the more accurate the rankings will be. Also, when you see something on someone's entry that can be improved, let them know. That way, we can learn new skills from each other!

Good luck

Great entry! The construction of the robot is brilliant. The left hand could use more contouring, but that’s an extreme nitpick. I do like the altered image without the speaker. Also the subtle touch of the extra light source and rim light really shows your attention to detail. Good job!

Rubber-Ray replied to Chalty669 :

Ahh you saw the first version with the speaker. I made it w/o the speaker at first, then added the speaker and it looked great. Came back and the speaker looked not so good so i went back to the original. I know you can relate to that process. And you are absolutely right about the left hand. I was going blind, super tired, and got a bit stressed doing this Chop. Almost didn't enter it at all.

Chalty669 replied to Rubber-Ray :

You’re right, I’ve been there many times. Spending so much time on entries, too many options. I do like this version better, but it wasn’t obviously clear why the speaker shouldn’t be there. I couldn’t really put my finger on it. But it would of been a shame if this wasn’t posted.it’s a great entry either way!
