Japanese prisoner of war being taken off a submarine.
(Shiva doesn't know I have this version!)
Thanks. Indeed, and whilst Shiva insists that his manips are not highly accomplished, he has taken a lot of trouble to blend in his new components using convincing levels of tone, saturation, lighting and film grain effects.Actually, he did a seriously nice manip!
And highly enjoyable, the way you ran with it!
I am old enough to know the spy Barbara would be hauled in... I refuse to disclose what we did to her while the submarine was plowing below waves...Thanks.

Older manips of old photographs used to be fairly obvious, but ultimately it may be a challenge for historians trying to identify authentic images via the internet!
Thanks, you did a great job!View attachment 516885

Eulalia with nothing but snowballs to throw at those troops, who look as though they mean business!
This is the case with all sorts of manips though. They say in music there are no difficult pieces; there are easy pieces and impossible pieces and the difference between them is practice. I think the same thing is true for manips. My first manips were hack jobs, by comparison to what I do now - my technique for cutting out images, and for blending, are much better now, but I still never think I'm doing anything particularly special or spectacular. It's all technique at that point. I don't know anything about what software Shiva uses, or how sophisticated his technique or method is, but his manips show a concern for blend, story, and an artistic vision, and that is accomplished, in my view.whilst Shiva insists that his manips are not highly accomplished, he has taken a lot of trouble to blend in his new components using convincing levels of tone, saturation, lighting and film grain effects.
My early manips truly sucked (I hope you don't think my current ones do). As Jolly said keep working!!!This is the case with all sorts of manips though.

The only thing worse than being marooned on an uninhabited uncharted island is being marooned on an inhabited uncharted island.Darted on the beach!

We ought to run a caption competition for what that Roman is saying.
