OMG, this thread makes a baby brewer like myself feel like you do when you have a sore throat and go on WebMD and walk away thinking your dying of some super long named disease!

Weird... that's exactly the opposite of what this thread is supposed to be about. This is supposed to help the new brewer have assurance that they don't have some super long named disease - by being able to compare their brew to the pictures of the infections versus the ones that are labeled completely normal, or by simply posting photos of their brew and being told whether or not it's infected.
I was going to post my infection, but it was difficult to even look at. Besides, the prescription cream I used cleared it up before I could get a picture of it.
I would like to have an experienced opinion about my brew. I have only 6 brews under my belt, so I have still quite much learning to do.

Almost as good as this one... Of course this one is intentional.

I've got one in a carboy that looks very much like that. Bottle it anyway (in big bottles) and hope for the best?

Looks healthy to me. Did you taste/smell it?
After a recent infection scare and looking at literally every page on this thread, I can say that you should have nothing to worry about. It's when you get the fuzz growing in there or things that look like white icebergs that you have something to worry about.
Thanks for all of your input. My reasoning behind posting that is it looks like it's the start of an infection. 3 days before that when I took a sample, there were no bubbles.

How old is this beer and how does it taste/smell?
Question for all: Just racked to secondary today with a 1oz dry hop addition. We put the pellets in a sanitized muslin bag, but accidentally set the sack of hops on an unsanitized surface before placing in secondary. Given the fact that primary fermentation is complete, our beer has a healthy amount of alcohol content (6.5%'ish), plenty of alpha acids (IPA), and we sanitized the sack. What does your collective wisdom say about the risk of infection under these circumstances?
Bubbles on top of fermenter don't know if infected
