Challenge: Dirty, Filthy, Grubby Stuff (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon

Date Uploaded: Aug 21, 2015

 The disgusting mess is a mixture of black coffee and brown bread.
I had to drain the toilet and set the camera on self-timer.

Manual setup with 2 strobes.

Thanks for the votes and comments. It's always a thrill to win a ribbon but of course, this time it's not just for me but for a great team, Glasseye.

On this occasion only, I am even happy to thank the low voters because they show that I achieved the goal of the challenge. :-)

Glad to see you were fooled once more, this time by the cat hair.

it is a repulsive feeling I get from the image, so it should be called a success

congrats!!

glad other voters could get over the feel and give you a more objective vote

edit: that hair on the edge doesn't seem to come form the right body region

Well the things people do for a ribbon :P

I was trying for the life of me to figure out where did you put the camera, thanks for the notes.

I have to admit I couldn't stomach this for too long it's really the most disgusting picture in the whole challenge and was obviously going to always get the blue!

Congratulations.

I wouldn't want to borrow your camera. I only home that the substance is artificial. Great image. I chose this and one other for my top images in the contest. Good luck.

Ugh - maybe using any brush more than once a year would help ;-)
It looks remarkably realistic ...
