<br />
You guys have all the freedom you want just keep it rated for family, no porn,sexy is okay,but remember family friendly, use your common sense. It will be deleted if it is to extreme or vulgar. Also your membership will be in jeopardy of being deleted.(I don't have that power but I know who does&#65532;)<br />
Here is the battle idea<br />
I will try to do this biweekly with a different single object I shot with my camera. and extract from the image.<br />
If you feel like participating go for it! If you don't feel like it, don't, nobody will lose any sleep over it ;) you are more than welcomed to comment and not participate with the manipulations.<br />
Just have fun and give it your  best shot. <br />
<br />
This image is of Saint Jude (don't go all religious ballistic  on me). It is a statue by my pool it's been in the family probably since the early 60s. <br />
It has seen numerous touchups (paint,bodywork cement cracked broke etc). I will probably pass it down to one of my kids or somebody in my family, it's too much of a hassle to maintain it.<br />
 Because of the season changes around here,it takes it's toll on the paint. I will not throw it away.<br />
 Here is the battle plan:<br />
Patch it up, paint it, clean off the debris,  use the original document size.<br />
 If you wish to place it on a background, do so, the main goal is just to make it look good even centering the statue itself within the staging for it would be a good challenge (Who knows, it may give me an incentive to paint the darn thing again) :rolleyes:<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the image you must use as the focal point.[thumbsup]<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hey guys! <br />
<br />
Oh man, i'm totally psyched to see what you all are going to come up with!! Okies, SO... i was looking through the interwebz and came across some things that sparked my interest for this challenge... The main goal of this challenge is going to be incorporating<br />
1.) fractals &amp;/or dust particles<br />
2.) at least 3 objects (of your choosing)<br />
into the photo of a person. Split the person up, have a tree growing out of them, fun streams of light flowing from them, put mechanical things on them, you name it... just do it. And if you want to put more than three things on them, by all means, keep piling it on lol! In case i'm not making any sense (i'm so bad with explaining things..and..words..) here are some examples to go off of ^_^<br />
<br />

<br />
The first three images are basically demonstrating what i mean by &quot;fractal and/or dust particle&quot; and the last two i think are great examples of what it means to add to a person.<br />
The catch is, you <u><b>must</b></u> use <u><b>one</b></u> of the following photos for this challenge :)<br />
<br />
--------use one of these please----------<br />

 image size can not exceed the document it is presently on,:rolleyes:(smaller is okay) the images is large enough to be able to shrink it down and still have plenty of detail in it<br />
<br />
 You can manipulate it any which way you want, what you can not do is not use it<br />
(for those that do not understand the <u>image must be used</u>)<br />
Incorporate into whatever, (use the image search engines there are tons of images you can use with this idea.Make it a cartoon, incorporate it into a Western-style photo, go futuristic with it, Go Scifi with it, create an animated .gift file&#8230;&#8230;. just do something.<br />
 I present you with Week 1 of<br />
<br />
 Battle_Keeping it simple! <br />
<br />
The good thing about this is there is no winner. Just participants and the chance to show off what you can do with a single object and the world wide web of the images at your disposal ...... have fun![thumbsup]<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div>

<br />
I want to build an image based on images that people reply to this thread with, so over the coming days as more people submit images the more complex the image will become. <br />
<br />
<font color="#008000">RULES:<br />
</font>:Post One image, and (optionally) a request on how you would like that image to appear inside the main composite.<br />
:Only one image in a row, (has to be separated by at least one other submission) to prevent spam.<br />
:Nothing crude or offensive! <br />
:Remember this is just for fun so get involved :)<br />
<font color="#ff0000"><br />
WARNING: your image may be creatively added into the main composite in such away it resembles a flying grasshopper riding a bowl of cereal.</font><br />
<br />
This is going to be the back drop for our collaboration <a href="http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/attachments/photoshop-contests/31714d1367138372-%2Asomething-just-fun%2A-needs-your-help-122560.jpg"  title="Name:  122560.jpg

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><!-- google_ad_section_start -->Ok Here is the drill We are working on facebook once again and want more of a theme Going. <br />
<br />
What I am Looking for is a cover photo and a profile picture that link together. <br />
<br />
Here is an example. <br />
<a href="http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/attachments/photoshop-contests/31610d1366918466-competition-time-bit-spring-cleaning-579082_167313596723841_1684603879_n.jpg"  title="Name:  579082_167313596723841_1684603879_n.jpg
Views: 1
Size:  50.9 KB">579082_167313596723841_1684603879_n.jpg</a><br />
<br />
Everyone can take part they can use Photoshop, Illustrator or even 3d software. The theme has to be PSG related <br />
But would really love to see Creativity and Design implemented into this. <br />
<br />
The prizes will be decided between the staff or if anyone would like to donate something ie if you have a set of brushes you have made or vectors as an example Then let me know. <br />
<br />
This competition will close on Sunday the 5th of May 2013<br />
<br />
Good luck and post a screen shot of it being used on a facebook pageso we can see how the 2 pictures interact with each other in this thread.<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div>
