As nice as your neighbours bottom might be, I'd rather you didn't.

You could but that would be a drawing not a photo. And no, you can’t take a photo of a drawing of a guitar.

I anticipated some teething problems, but let’s try to avoid this in descending into silliness

I actually already have a plan for what I want to achieve for this. Just need to work out how to get the shot right without copious photoshop. 

With that in mind, are there any rules in terms of processing? I assume basic Lightroom / PS stuff is fine provided it doesn't go beyond "photography" and into "digital art manipulation"? Though admittedly everyone seems to draw the line between these in a slightly different place.

Good question, and very conscientious of you. Ultimately it’s your photo, so feel free to do as you please within reason. As you’ve already pointed out what you don’t want to happen, I trust you’ll do this anyway

Spiffing.

Just added my photo... not so many in there at the moment!

What is that in your picture, @skunkwerx? I like the colour

Incidentally, I had two pictures and wasn't sure which one to use. This is the one that didn't make the cut:
