Been watching too much Celebrity Masterchef, and then along comes IP24 and I'm thinking Iron Photographer..Iron Chef..and that leads to 'I've stuffed the steak with grated potato, and grilled the peas in oil"..which is probably a misquote and certainly nothing to do with this photo, except in my head. Which is where it should probably have stayed.
Here are the elements for IP 24:
1 - a cone
2 - a something viscous
3 - shot in square format
There's going to be a LOT of room for interpretation with this one. The first element, a cone, can be any sort of cone. Something conical. An ice cream cone. A traffic cone. Anything that is identified by the term "cone." The second element is something viscous, NOT something vicious. So leave your mad dogs, your armed vigilantes and your ex-lovers out of it. What we're talking about here is a semi-thick liquid. You get to decide what it is...syrup, olive oil, drawn butter...with one exception: no bodily fluids. I know you people; you're capable of anything.
The final element is the easiest: the image should be presented in a square format. I think that's pretty self explanatory.
