FIRST IMPRESSION: Great shot, worthy of printing and hanging!
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: Excellent, consistent composition. My only nit is that the reflection in the first frame is not echoed in the other two. It also seems odd that your first shot is from slightly above the subject while the other two are more straight on. This inconsistency may have bothered the voters.
TECHNICAL: Exposure, lighting and color are flawless.
CONCLUSION: Great shot, and one I might expect to see hanging in a candy shop or for sale in Hershey. I'm frankly surprised this did not score higher than it did.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!
great concept. Would like to see the kiss fill the frame a bit more. presentation is good, but would be boosted with a bit more graphic framing/matting. nice job all around.
I like the idea of the sequence, but I think you should have left the wrapper at the bottom of the second and third frame. The way it is now, it looks like the wrapper is floating away and because of that, the illusion of the eaten chocolate is not so strong anymore.
