mrcrypt's steganography challenge - more puppetry

fake tv broadcast of a real image of Eric Adams standing in front of a bunch of microphones. to his right is a man who's possibly a lawyer. subtitles in yellow read 'sin comentarios', spanish for 'no comment'.

the subtitles lie.
in the comment portion of the image's metadata is the flag.

cropped screenshot of an exiftool readout reveals the flag: DC610-5UB717L35-R0CK

a shape is hidden in the 1st RGB color plane with stegsolve or aperisolve.

a grainy version of the original image. most of it is distorted from the grain, but the shape of the serpent glyph from the video game Skyrim is in the lower left corner.
