Inspiring Photo: Up The Creek #13235565

Description

With Clyde.
I must be feeling a bit better, I managed to spend a couple of enjoyable hours in photoshop yesterday, and I ended up created this fun scene! I like the look on Clyde’s face, I am not sure if it is indecision, or a look of confusion! Then again with a camel, it can be hard to tell…LOL! The location is Wheeney Creek, to the north west of Sydney!
I didn’t know whether to enter this in the monthly theme, or digital darkroom.
The Soooo Funny theme won!

Fantastic dd work, John! Never ever seen a camel by a waterfall, but I guess it needs to fill its hump. #10275788

Ann H. Belus August 14, 2012 0

How creative is this!!! I thought I was seeing things...a camel by a waterfall in a woodsy scene? Beautifully done, and I agree, "Sooo funny" is where it belongs! #10275824

Terry Cervi August 14, 2012 0

Looks like Clyde is admiring the beauty of the falls, John! A really cute shot! #10275843

Reynaldo D. Reyes August 14, 2012 0

Either way you enter this John, its a fabulous entry. I love the way the camel reacts to the waterfall as it appears to be pointing with its nose for people to notice the amazing view. Very well done and glad you're feeling better. #10275935

Gord MacEachern August 14, 2012 0

Clyde doesn't look like he knows where his other background went!! It is a beautiful waterfall , so I hope he appreciates it #10276105

Mariann Kovats August 15, 2012 0

I am glad, you are feeling better to create something that fantastic as this, John! Amazing work! Beautiful background! #10276142

Monnie Ryan August 15, 2012 0

Perhaps he's just perplexed at having his feet in water instead of sand! Cool creation - and glad you're feeling better! #10276189

Lorna Shutter August 15, 2012 0

Ha! Ha! I love this, John! I think the Camel is confused as to how he got there! ... but he is taking in the beauty of it all! Gorgeous capture of this fabulous waterfall ... and the added humour makes this image extra special! Excellent DD work and presentation! :) #10276200

Martha R. Mazon August 15, 2012 0

Terrific darkroom work, John, and definitely with comic results! It would work in both categories but I vote for MT. Beautiful depth and detail, too! #10276201

Right choice John I would have gone with funny as well. Great camera work with long exposure to veil the water and the post processing to add the camel. Glad you are feeling better. #10277195

Thanks a lot Emile! #10277359

JO ANN CLEVELAND August 16, 2012 0

Guess Clyde is in awe of all that water, after all, the desert doesn't have much ... great dd work.

You also need to just enter the falls later, your veiling is soo kool John!

jo ann c. #10277523

Phyllis A. Houghton August 16, 2012 0

Absolutely, enter it without the camel as Jo Ann said. Both ways, excellent images. Super dd work! Great imagination. He blends in well doesn't he? #10277587

Lou Taylor August 18, 2012 0

Well done John! I had to read your comments to figure out why there was a camel in the woods by a waterfall. #10280372

John Connolly August 18, 2012 0

Thanks Ken and Lou, I had heaps of fun producing this weird scene! #10281129

Jeffrey M. Smith August 21, 2012 0

VERY WELL DONE! Your PS work is perfect! That camel really seems confused, I am sure that dont get to see an oasis this full of water and life. It has enough water to go for 3 or 4 days after a drink from here!
Jeff #10284638
