August, 2018 Shift Art Photoshop Challenge!
The theme: Landscapes!
This month we explore landscapes of all kinds. Below are images of some already wonderful landscapes. Your challenge is to modify, enhance, combine these images in any way you choose to create a magnificent new landscape. You can combine and replace elements to create daytime or nighttime landscapes. Your landscape can be complete fantasy, realistic, serene, spectacular, or magical. Let your imagination go wild with this one! This month we’ll change one of the usual sub-rules that states you can insert any image from your collection that you have full rights to use. You are still welcome to do so with the following exceptions: No models, no large objects that become the main focus or subject of the final image. It is ok to place a figure inconspicuously to develop a sense of scale and grandeur, or place an object that enhances a landscape in a similar way, as long as the figure or object do not dominate or move attention away from the real subject: The landscape itself!Top Prize: A Three Month Subscription to Shift Art Summit!
