Meant my original Bernie post as frivolous. But Don had a good idea of running imaginary images as a side challenge. Just as frivolous and fun, but defined as a starting point. For example 1) how I got my cat down from the tree 2) how to pass the time when stranded on a tiny desert island 3) what my pet/imaginary pet thinks of humans 4) if I could fly 5) time travel, past or future 6) etc. Suggested rule -- describe visually how the photo would look. No need to vote, it's just for fun, but whatever.
(Sorry to have diverted this thread away from the "Where's Bernie" challenge.) |

Feel free to rate this "image", comment, even favorite it.
This might be my ticket to entering future extended editing challenges. |
A lot would depend on how well the concept was *realized* photographically, but IF the BG photo were decently composed and IF Bernie was skillfully inserted then you're looking at an 8/9 from me :-) |
I like the concept but I think it would be hard to execute using the currently-required meme image of Bernie -- with his legs bent and crossed I think it would be hard to make his inverted position look natural. If allowed to use ANY image of Bernie you'd have a winner. :-) |

What an enticing challenge, and I'm slumped before my computer muttering useless misgivings. Idea! How about a thought experiment? I'll present an imaginary image, which will totally circumvent my cumbersome lack of technical skills and hopelessly tangled, unsorted archive. Including, of course, images I've never taken. With me? Now, in Australia there are large bats
called flying foxes, of which there are four species. At rest they hang by their long legs from tree branches. They tightly swaddle themselves in their leathery wings, as we might cross our arms across our chest when cold. Okay, here it is.

We should do a side challenge where we describe photographs we are incapable of taking and/or editing. |

SO many fun entries for Bernie!

I enjoyed looking at all of them.

| Thanks for the explanation Bear. My entry follows the standard editing plus Bernie instructions and was fun to do. Looking forward to seeing what all turns up. |

The idea is just to take the specific meme and stick it in a picture somewhere. Extended Editing is too wide open for this. The "usual gang" could be counted on to sweep :-) Everyone has a chance in this one.... That's my take on it anyway... |

The challenge title and description show this is an archival challenge.

Make it archival and a lot more people can participate. He's run for president twice and there has been
a lot of Bernie paraphernalia stuff around for eight years. |

You can do either of the alternatives you presented, or use the one originally linked. Your choice. |

I used a higher resolution image that I downloaded from the internet. It looked a lot better in my composition. I’ll let the voters decide.

If this has already been addressed, forgive me (I didn't see anyone talking about it in the thread): The photo provided doesn't include parts of Bernie's chair. I shall go about adding those parts if I need to from another copy of the photo if that's OK. I don't want to be disqualified for doing so, so thought I should check with the powers that be.
OK to provide the missing parts of Bernie's chair? |

I assume any size is OK as long as it is funny ;) |

Should be OK -- the theme is "where's Bernie?" not the chair.
Also, everyone should remember that, other than combining the Bernie image with one of your own, STANDARD Editing rules apply. |
