Fancy another photoshop thread?
The photoshoppery in the floating barn thread seemed to go down well - how about we have another round.

I propose the image on this page as a starting point.
(image mirrored here in case it disappears from that site)

I haven't started work on the image myself yet, but I might be able to post something later.

Lets say for this thread that there is no necessity to make it a 'tennis'-style photoshop thing - so there's no need to base contributions on the last one someone else posted (although this is OK, if you want to )

I can't view that without thinking a Candiru has tried to swim up Kermit's urethra, and got stuck.

Took me five minutes, and it looks exactly like I spent five minutes on it, but, well, somebody had to do it.

It is, however, quite astounding the wide variety of sizes that giraffes come in these days.

Nice

Especially the vicious lizard-Hitler-eating giraffe.

Hello young prince. We were bored, so we decided to visit Earth in disguise. What do you think?

That's peculiar - it's working for me (and not just from the machine I posted it from).

If it's still not working when you read this(here's the link again), can you tell me if you can get to the main site (www.atomicshrimp.com)?

no problem with the main site or your other images, but that particular one doesn't work for me.

I think the file must have been corrupted in a way that some programs were more tolerant of than others - I could view it in firefox, but not IE - open it in one of my graphics apps but not another. I've uploaded a fresh copy - it should work now.
