OMG, how corny can I get???? I had this idea almost as soon as the challenge was announce, but didn't get around to shooting until Saturday. My original shoot was with a black background, but the grease kept "blending" too much, so I reshot with a white bg.
I wondered how I could get the "grease" look, and found this in my husband's stuff in the basement. Yuck. It smells nasty. Kinda fun to play with though. ")
PP:
In RAW
sharpened (too much, I think)
white balance
a touch of contrast
In PSP
desaturated cyan and yellow to fix white balance more
clarify (I think)
cropped, resized

Without the title, I really would have no idea what the point of ice and grease had to do with each other. The photo however is nice. Good range of grays, crisp focus (a bit of falloff on the Valvoline side) nice photo.
