Challenge 256: Five years on
This week marks the fifth anniversary of the Friday Challenge, and I thought we'd mark the occasion by repeating the first-ever Challenge. The task was to take the lid off this boiled egg. The question is: five years down the line, are our Photoshop skills any more proficient? Have advances in Photoshop versions made the job any easier? This is the original text:
You might like to include objects or people that could not have been in the scene five years ago - or, alternatively, things that we saw five years ago but which are no longer in evidence. How you mark the passage of time is entirely up to you. High res, as stated above, is here. |

Happy Birthday Friday Challenge! It's been quite a while since I have posted on here, but in a strange co-incidental way, I felt the urge to see what the challenge was at 6am this morning. Not had a huge amount of time on this one, but might see if I can get a better entry up later in the week.  |

I am glad I wasn't around for the first one - it might be too depressing  _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Challenge 256: Five years on
I've been in wedding photography mode this weekend, so nothing adventurous from me I'm afraid, but great work so far from all. Neil, the crack in the cup is really good, realistic work from Gordon, delightful from Emma, Anna great animation as always and Bruce - love it! Good to see you back BB. Nick  |

Re: Challenge 256: Five years on
Nick that is so realistic that I must ask the question as to whether it's a real egg. The imperceptable slightly darker shade (on the correct side) of the translucent egg-white, the highlights on the exposed egg-white, and the reflective gloss on the highlights of the yolk itself make it too real; if it is then you have raised the bar for me.
