Thanks for all the comments. I had a great deal of fun with this shot, as well as enjoyed devouring the prop! I think for this site, I should have chosen a different backdrop color, however my monitor shows the chocolate very clearly. To appreciate it however, requires well calibrated monitors as several "too dark" comments show. I don't think I will tailor my shots that much for the competition as my goal is to print what shows, not hedge shots for all monitors. I am happy with the response to this. The bottom right corner of the background should be a little lighter than the upper left, showing a faint diagonal crossing from lower left to upper right.
I'm having trouble beliving this didn't do better, it was the only one in the challenge that I scored 10. I thought met the subject perfectly, the composition is excellent and elegant in its simplicity, and the technical aspects were well executed, especially given the difficult extremes of contrast in the image. I thought you should have ribboned. Oh well.
One of the best shots in this challeng IMO, just back to comment, you got your number already a few days ago :) gosh, I feel generous today, bump....... up
