About the Image(s)

Title: TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER, AND BY THE WAY, WHAT TIME IS IT? ⬓Moo!⬠THANKS, IT MUST BE NOON.

HOW I did it: This was all over the place. First I thought about taking an unusual clock and putting lots of different hands on it. It took a long time to get the lower clock extracted from the original 1, which was taken in Prague. These are famous astronomical clocks. When I finally managed to correct the angle of the lower clock, it took another long Time to find hands for it. I finally did what I shouldn’t have and stole a set of hands from an internet illustration. I put two sets of them on the clock, different sizes. I then tried to distort the clock using the Liquify filter so it would look something like Dali’s famous watch, but I couldn’t get it to look like I had hoped. So then I thought about putting it in a simple landscape. I used the Sky filter and put the strange clock into the sky using Command>Option>Shift>V. Finally, I thought of it as a space ship from outer space that had just landed

An interesting Altered Reality image. What is unreal for me are a couple of things - the cows don't seem to be concerned with the spaceship, as for the most part, they are ignoring it. Secondly, in my day spaceships were 'flying saucers', so this must be one of those newfangled 2024 models (or it is a flying saucer model crash-landing).
Unfortunately this picture does not work for me - but only one persons opinion.

You are right about the cows. I should have thought to try to turn at least oe of them toward the ship. My spaceship concept is that it could be anything as we have no idea where they would be coming from. However, I am going to try to do something else with the astronomical clock. Thanks.   Posted: 07/17/2024 18:54:50

I like this image I can see how long it must have taken to do all the work to the clock to get it to look just right. For me it doesn't give off a spaceship vibe. I get a more olden day cowboy and times a ticking, kind of feel, I don't think the extra clock hands really add to the image, two would have been fine or perhaps if they were all symmetrical to one another? However, I really like it, it caught my eye out of the line up straight away, awesome work!   Posted: 07/16/2024 03:32:47

I admire the work you put into this creation and it appeals to me very much. I wonder if there are too many cows ? Just one larger animal placed in the foreground and looking towards the spaceship would work.   Posted: 07/19/2024 19:12:05

A very interesting image. Your title suggests that the large clock face is an alien spaceship, but I find it to be more appropriate to simply see it for what it is. Does the clock face represent some aspect of time? Every viewer can create their own story. For me, I feel set free to use my creative imagination. Thank you.
