Lacking a better idea, this contest isn't going to have a very coherent theme. Your job will be to take a picture from the Google Image Search for "completely", "random", or "contest" and use it as the basis for a photoshop. Use any other photos you want, but include something from one of those searches.

Judging will take place on Sunday evening.

Oh, and if you choose an image deeper than the first few pages of a search, please post where you got it from. I'm not going to memorize all of the images in there.

I did a search for "completely random contest" and this one almost made itself...

Wish I had thought of this one for the graffiti contest, all those months ago...

I cheated a little bit on this one - the lake image was listed in Google (did a search for "completely random") but led to a dead link, because the image had been moved on the site. I followed a few links and found it. Anyway, without further ado...

Sadly, my skills weren't quite up to the task of Cthulhu rising from a quiet lake in Nepal... looks okay, I suppose... Finding a usable Cthulhu source pic was hard work...

This is weak, but I really wanted to use my shark...

Popular contest this time around... *sigh*

Anyway, I set myself a special task. For fun, I thought I would do three separate searches for "completely", "random", and "contest" and pic a single image from the first results page of each. Using these three images, and DexX's Cliche Shark, I would create a vaguely cohesive image.

Here is the result...

The two obvious images are completely and contest. The flaw in my plan was random - the search results were just plain boring. It also proved difficult to stick my shark in, but I managed it (contrived though it may be).

I should have given up on the plan and stopped when I finished inserting the elephant... oh well... Just goes to show how you can mangle a good edit by trying to add too much (some Fark.com people should learn that lesson).

I hadn't intended to enter in this one, on the off chance that Dan and I would start tossing the win back and forth. (Hmmm, that would be evil). But here is something, anyway.

Originals at http://pmitros.mit.edu/bathroom/intheoven.jpg (random)

and

Wow, I actually got people to enter this time. I feel special. Anyway, I thought these entries, in no particular order, were good:

wirthling - download-a-date.com

JrnymnNate - New tapestry

fuzzyman - DiCaprio's head in an oven

But the winner has to be DexX, for a bunch of good work, this one being my favourite.
