when I was playing around with ideas I liked this effect... i felt it would ruin the challenge though.

all that was done was to

find edges
invert
increase color saturation

Very nice results Rondon!

This round is now complete! Thanks to all the players!! You really created quite the tea party!

The starting image was from stock.xchng; image by cesca (http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=138193)

Here is how the image changed player to player....

And here is the final image!!!!

Wow that looks great!!

love the whole scenic tabletop idea. and that waterfall caused major flash backs to me as a child in B.C Canada.. on a school fieldtrip to see the salmon spawn! heheh

Lets hope the mermaids fate isn't as dreery as those poor fishys!

very fun everyone!! another masterpiece!

and hey more people cool.. !!

I really liked the mermaid, so much that I couldn't resist in adding some scales. This was really easy to do. I just selected the mermaid's tail, copied it to its own layer and applied the stained glass filter (filter>texture>stained glass).

Very creative additions by all the players! This turned out to be quite the animal tea party. A turle, dogs, salmon, and a zebirdopotamus oh my! My personal favorite addition has to be the fisherman sketch. I guess I just like the simplicity of it, and the whole 2D/3D thing. Of course that water scene table top would be quite the conversation piece in any home (grin). Well done everyone!

Great job everyone! For some reason the table reminds me of a horse of a different color in OZ.

Cheers
Dave

These just keep getting better and better! Great work everyone... :thumbsup:
