Errrr yeah i can see why its called arty farty lmao :D

Mind you that sun was a pain for photo shoot of the open top bus a few of mine had top sun glare on it - thank god for photo manager editing hehehehe so i was a little bit arty farty lmao:D
 
They should use that for the statue they should make for the centre of Accy.

Cast it in bronze, and the team who took us back into the football league, complete with bus, will be there for time immemorial.

Great pic.:)
 
Aye....I like the idea of a statue. And it would probably be cheaper than a Panopticon. Could we get lottery money for it, though?

We've had threads before about how we seem to be the only town in the country without any statues, what better work of art could we have?

Why not? Manchester United got a lotto grant to give their staff Yoga lessons!! :eek:
 
Kipax's piccy in some way reminds me of this (which started off as a photograph), and is probably one of the most famous statues in the USA:

Anyone guess who the players are?

(From Left) Phil Edwards, Jaggers, Mangy, Craney, Leam and
Danny "buy us a drink" Ventre.

what do you think?
 
Oh dear....I don't know who was on the bus and who was not...that was just a guess based on the profile. A shame I wasn't there to watch.
 
Saw this, which reminded me of Kipax's arty farty pic a bit. Just replace the gold thingy for the Nationwide Conference trophy and bingo.:p

Try using the magic wand tool to select the siloettes, then add to the selection (on the menu its a picture of a square joined to another) the bits that arent quite black, the bits contrast or brightness missed, then copy this onto a new layer, go to blending mode, colour overlay, black, this will get rid of the slight few things you missed :)

Other than that nice work :)

PS By things you missed - I meant how the scarf is really dark and not needed

I used the colour overlay as I mentioned and also threw on a 1 pix, black outerglow, 100% opacity, blend mode:normal to smooth the edges as they were a bit rough after the overlay :o

By the way, if you want me to shut up, just tell me :p
