Coal made once the world go 'round

Harz_JoergComment by Harz_Joerg: Yuhu! Didn't expect the image would do so well that it even gets a blue ribbon. For reasons see below.
Probably the association of coal and black made it for most voters.
I only made a very few images because it was a dirty job, "but someone had to do it!" :)
Keeping the other hand clean was really a major issue and keeping the kitchen clean too.
Another serious issue was my new computer with its much worse screen compared to my old Toshiba notebook: when I reviewed my first version on my old computer, I went "Yiieks! What did I do?"
So I redid the image and went back and forth between the two computers to check the final outcome. While taking only care about the colors, I forgot a little about the cropping.
Then came the biggest disappointment: I asked my loved one how she likes it and she said: "It looks like a piece of sh** in a dirty hand! Totally awful!".
I was really afraid other might have this impression too, but luckily this was not the case.
So thanx again to all voters and commenter,
Jörg
