You are one weird but funny guy. Yeah, ummm, down in the states we have chocolate that "melts in your mouth, not on your face". I'll be happy to ship some up to you next time you get a hankering for some chocolaty goodness.
I just went back to this image because it was posted in a forum thread and hadn't realized it was you Slippy! LOL I should have known! I thought (and still think) that this was a GREAT take on the Dairy challenge. I scored it a 9. Anyone who is willing to go through that deserves a decent score! It's actually a very cool shot in it's own right too. Good composition, crop, color, & focus. Keep it up!
Ummmm.....WTF! Slip, like others have said before me YOU WERE ROBBED! I love this pic. Technicaly awesome, original and all around awesome pic! I gave you a 10! This should have been in the top spots!
Good idea! I didn't vote but indeed this should have done better.
What might have been better here though is a slightly (even) closer perspective. I think the crop could have been stronger. Perhaps just the eyes, nose and mouth (make an L with your hand there and look at that crop). It's worth playing with some more unless you are 100% satisfied! After spending all the time and effort to rub chocolate all over your face!
Gotta say Strike, you have been dealt a rough deal on this image. Easily a top 5 image for me. It has both plenty of originality and plenty of technical excellence. I gave this a 10, great stuff IMO
I gave this a 9 just for the model's willingness to cooperate with your request to cover the face in chocolate. Great ideas come from good photographers. One of my top ten picks of this challenge.
I thought I'd gotten tired of seeing stuff smeared on peopl'es faces, but this has proven me wrong. That's pretty wild! The reasons that it works for me are these: The green eyes and red on lips jump out and really make it pop. It's a good crop, and I like the lighting.
LOL I don't know what to say...... morbidly fascinated here, what a lot of effort, before AND after. I do hope you had some fun with this beyond taking the photo.
Whomever let you do this to them deserves the blue ribbon! Seriously, a great take on the challenge and the spark of creativity and effort that is the hallmark of only a select few DPCers. Good luck in the challenge!
I've gone about 34 years believing everything is better covered in chocolate. I hereby admit my OBVIOUS mistake. Your creativity is bittersweet on this one. ;-)

Very interesting idea here. Too much attention is drawn to the eyes because of the whiteness and the green, so it is distracting from the "chocolate" face.
it's an original idea, but when I first saw this picture, I jumped. It's kind of scary. And the parts where you can see skin underneath the chocolate, the skin looks burnt.
they eyes ae beautiful
you might wanna make it so all of the lips have no chocolate on them are vis versa
only on the lips then none on the face
i bet this was yummy
I'll have to be honest, this reminds me of Lord of the Flies or something. I'm a bit disturbed. You must have had fun at least with all the chocolate. Your green eyes look very bright amidst the brown.
OK, you are getting at least an 8 for effort. The glare on the chocolate is a bit distracting and makes it look OOF. Your lips make the picture look oversaturated too, but your eyes make this picture quite arresting. (I'm assuming this is a self-portrait because I don't know who else would let you do this to them...)
amazing texture on this one. Not too many people have worked the dairy milk chocolate angle. The green eyes really spice up the image as well. Nice work.
whoa! i love the effort put into this and it's such an original idea. the green eyes are a great contrast against the chocolate. i wish the reflection from your lighting wasn't so harsh.
