PS Forgot to mention only one guess per person per day (this might change if they start to get a bit tricky...)
And I think we should leave guesses on the image rather than on this thread.

-Everyone is entitled to my opinion-
Posted my guess to the image's page.
This could be a lot of fun. Could also get a bit challenging coming up with new picture puzzles.
But.. but.. on that latter note.. could make for a very interesting site contest at some point, too. :o)

"HOWEVER remember that if you get it right you are required to create and upload the next one within a reasonable period of time (say two days max.)"
I am thinking.. one a week?
Once 'you' move away from photography.. two days might be too short for someone to come up with a concept.. and then, execute/render the corresponding image?
And hopefully, the picture puzzles themselves will get more challenging. Justifying the one week time frame I am suggesting.
... ...
Also, to prevent any burnout on this idea from too short a time frame.

Well I did my first one in about five minutes from coming up with the idea for the game... but then it is pretty simple.
My thought was that it would be like the cryptic crossword game... generally the reason it (and all the others) stall is because no one posts a new one after the old one is solved. Hence the impetus on getting a new one up ASAP.
The guessing could take weeks in some cases, I think... anyway we'll see how it goes.
PS "cake in the sky" is incorrect. *throws cake in face*

A few more thoughts: I put my image in the "caedes" gallery, will make them easier for people to find; also, if you are composing an image using third party images, don't forget to give due credit etc...

Richie, of course, was correct "Half a loaf is better than no bread" which I guess means we should be grateful for small mercies :)
Not sure if solution should be posted here or in the other thread so will do both.

I had a thought this morning that maybe we should PM the author instead of posting answers on the image? That way no one else will spoil the answer for others and we can have a 'second place' if the winner doesn't post a new puzzle.

Well, that was a surprize, because I was not really giving a guess. Richie pm'd me to say "Barking Up The Wrong Tree" is correct :)
:) So - for my next trick . . . this is all my frozen brain could come up with tonight - and I am sure it will be guessed very quickly.
Here it is
I think Samatar's suggestion above is a good idea - so I am sitting here waiting for a flurry of pm's lol

PM'ing would also mean we could avoid having the same person winning too often :-)
As for the new one... I have no idea yet! Doesn't seem like too many people are taking note of the pm'ing thing yet either...

The person winning would still be the one that guessed
Correctly first tho. I have had no pm's with answer.
I thought my last one would be easy but maybe I was
'dreaming'. For an added clue it is a song title.

Such a very clever composite, LynEve. Well done!
I wasn't convinced I'd guessed the right title for it until you confirmed 'dream' - - - then I felt sure I'd gotten it.
My new puzzle is in the PC downstairs awaiting transmission. Will post in the morning around 8am GMT.
Many thanks for the lovely PMs!

If you have an iPad or something, some apps may do the trick. The one everybody's talking about is Procreate. I've got it, and like it... you can create your own brushes, use layers etc. ArtStudio is another favourite of mine. Inspire Pro. ArtRage, Pixelmator. Brushes Redux... (the original Brushes failed and was presumably removed from the App Store by Apple).

I worried about what others might be seeing.
I know when I used these emojis in an Apple Mail email to a friend who uses a PC, they didn't work. I thought "what's the point of emoticons other people can't see?" and gave up.

The following page is helpful, and I understand a little more:
Why Don't My Friends See My Emoji Correctly?
It links to an even more useful site, the Emojipedia.
The snail 🐌is one I've been using a lot here. It looks quite different on different platforms. To me it looks like the one by Apple here.
Now, the fact that some snails are facing in different directions is irritating, as it makes less sense if you have it pointing away from a second emoji when you thought it was pointing towards it.
For instance: 🐌🗻
Mount Fuji is the one I used on another thread to denote (in my mind) a 'heap of cred'.
Above (in this thread) I used: 🖼🔍❓
(Framed Picture, Left-Pointing Magnifying Glass, Question Mark).

"Why don't you take a picture - it'll last longer?"
Which, if you don't think about it.. is probably correct.
