A creative Photoshop initiative that began when the Swiss player invited suggestions for sightseeing in India has been a hit on the social networking site.

“Blown away by the hilarious and creative #PhotoshopRF’s,” >Federer tweeted on Friday.

It all started when Federer, who is to be part of the International Premier Tennis League event in New Delhi on December 7 and 8, tweeted: “I need some help from my supporters in India. I’m only in Delhi for a few days, so can’t visit all amazing places that I’d like.” “Maybe you guys could help #PhotoshopRF? Show me where I should visit and I’ll retweet the best pics!”

His Indian fans were on the roll after that tweeting neatly morphed pictures — Federer leading camels in a Rajasthan desert, driving a truck, posing at the Taj Mahal and doing the western stereotypes as a snake charmer and a keeper of a dancing monkey.

“Too many to pick favourites, but I had to make a collection,” Federer tweeted.
