The art of fine dining, even on a budget, isn't just in cooking it, slapping it on a plate, and setting it down in front of one or more hungry mouths... Presentation counts for a lot. Photographers that specialise in photographing food often use a few tricks to make the subject look even more appealing, or appetising. But these days, everyone's a photographer, thanks to the ubiquitous smartphone. Or at least that is what they like to think - sometimes it doesn't quite work out the way the photographer intended, as the picture above attests to... What's your funniest, weirdest or just plain most dubious, food photo that you're willing to share here?

A good photo to start a diet, you look at it and you do not feel the need to eat.

@LadyDuck Thought the same thing there anna, and before I read this portion of your comment I thought I'd say your first one above made me laugh.

I take a lot of food photos and while in some it's hard to know what is pictured, I can't say any are especially weird to see, or maybe for those I just threw them away, or deleted them. How are you doing? I've not seen you about for a while and had time to look you up. I'm guessing you're just taking a break as many of us do from time to time, but I hope you and your family are doing okay?

All good here, thank you - just making sure real life doesn't get away from me, so less time here at the moment, I am sure you know how it goes!

@pgntwo Definitely and none of us are on the same time table regarding that, so it's hard to know what's keeping people away.

That's a very funny photo. I'm not sure I can find a 'funny food foto'. I only ever take photos of great food.

I'm sure glad you said the photo wasn't being presented as a great presentation! It looks really gross.
