The brief:
On my visit to the seaside a few weeks ago, I saw this Punch and Judy booth set up, ready for a show. It was a tricky thing to photograph, into the sun: can you improve the contrast? And what sort of show might be performed on this tiny stage?

The brief:
A bit more of a technical challenge this week. Here's a view of a hallway in an office building, with a stairway on the left and a lift (elevator) on the right. Your task is to seal up the stairway to make a blank wall, and to remove the lift/elevator. What you put in its place is up to you - another hallway, perhaps a new staircase. As long as you get the perspective right!

The brief:
Off to the Norfolk seaside town of Cromer last weekend, where I snapped this view of an idyllic English town: the bunting, the medieval church, the 18th Century building.
All that's missing is a pub sign hanging from that wrought iron bracket. Can you oblige?

The brief:
Another image from my recent French trip. This one was taken in a museum of 19th Century shops (actually, it was much more fascinating than it sounds). The shops were arranged around a central atrium, so in many cases it was possible to get views from almost directly overhead.
What I'd like you to do here is to populate this scene. It doesn't have to be people: bottles, photographed toy figures, Poser elements - even drawn boxes will do fine. The purpose of the exercise is to try to make your placement of people and things match the perspective of the room as closely as possible.
Another tricky one, perhaps!
