addicted... by northy

addicted...

to the four major food groups: sugar, salt, chocolate and fat ;p

for the mad minute word challenge... today's word is: cacoethes... meaning "an uncontrollable urge or desire, especially for something harmful"

http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/18598/cacoethes-is-a-mad-mad-mad-minute-word-and-means

too obvious, perhaps... but it's what came to mind and kinda got stuck there ;p

this was processed in LR5, and then a bleach bypass filter added in Colour Efex (the LR version of this filter wasn't as dramatic)

thank you for all the views and comments on my angles shot from yesterday... i really appreciate all the feedback!
Cool shot

Hear, hear. Chocolate should be named the most important food group, says I. :D
July 21st, 2013  
That water looks healthy enough! Lovely shot

chocolate can't be harmful ;)
July 21st, 2013  
Totally awesome set up, well laid out!
July 21st, 2013  
We mightn't all have these cacoethis thing so be difficult to think of one! Fat of course works!
July 21st, 2013

Lovely clear shot, and deliciously sinful. Beautifully composed, lit and shot.

Fabulous interpretation. Great job!

You have a wonderfully twisted mind - fav
July 22nd, 2013  
@espyetta mebbe ;p
July 22nd, 2013  
Love the contrast between the salt and the sugar.

I can't find where your note was but remember you'd asked if I'd heard from my get pushed partner this week. It's monday evening and no message. I'd say let it go at this point as I've held off sending a challenge to my partner as well. I'll send one shortly but if s/he doesn't respond, I'll just wait til next week.
July 23rd, 2013  
@taffy your partner is @cookie123 right? She posted on the get pushed thread that she needed to come off the list, but wasn't clear on whether she was playing this week... There is someone else you cld partner up with if you still want to play... But I think you mentioned you were pretty busy... Anyway, let me know if you want to play and I will pair you up... But don't worry if you don't want to... The person I'd pair you with asked to be added in for next week - not someone whose partner bowed out
July 23rd, 2013  
Perfect composition. Cool shot.
July 23rd, 2013  
@northy I'll take a pass this week then. Then, back to it next week would be good. I miss the challenge but this works out fine for me for now. Thanks!
July 23rd, 2013  
A super still life. Great black background.
July 23rd, 2013  
Clever interpretation xx
July 23rd, 2013  
had to fav this for the cleverness of it
July 23rd, 2013  
I like your composition and creativity :)
July 24th, 2013  
Looks like your laying out some heavy stuff there. Go easy now. Or better yet just Say No!
July 24th, 2013  
Superb, clever photo. Love the background and your interpretation
July 24th, 2013  
Cool shot - great interpretation of the word! I definitely have a cacoethes for chocolate!! : )
July 24th, 2013  
i have the same issue lol!! Nice shot!
July 25th, 2013  
Wonderful shot. I love it.
July 25th, 2013  
Very clever!
July 30th, 2013  
Good one! Very good idea here! I like that you created textural contrast by using a large grain salt contrasting with the sugar.
July 30th, 2013  
Whoa lady. It looks like somebody is in need of an intervention! LOL

Actually, it looks like a pretty well rounded diet. ;-)
Great interpretation.
