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

Perhaps he's just perplexed at having his feet in water instead of sand! Cool creation - and glad you're feeling better! #10276189Lorna Shutter August 14, 2012
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

Well done John! I had to read your comments to figure out why there was a camel in the woods by a waterfall. #10280372John Connolly August 18, 2012
Thanks Ken and Lou, I had heaps of fun producing this weird scene! #10281129Jeffrey M. Smith August 21, 2012
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!John Connolly August 23, 2012
Thanks Jeffrey, isn't PS a fun tool to work with! #10287284Susan M. Smith August 25, 2012
Ha! I had to look twice on this one! Great concept and execution, John. Your capture of the falls should definately be entered on its own. #10290198Inge S. Lasmana August 26, 2012
