Arrggghhhh, lighting - I hate it! This was nothing like what I intended when I started. I have sooooo much to learn about lighting. In the end this looks interesting to me so I'm going with it. The light on the square in the center is annoying but other than that I like the way the light falls on the chocolate.

Post Challenge: Did you consider that Wonka bars may not be sold in all countries? It seems not from a few comments I got on this one. I was made aware that in the US at least there was such a thing as a Wonka Bar existed and I might get DNMC'd for that. I didn't know that you could buy Wonka Bars in New Zealand. I didn't go looking for them either as they aren't the only chocolate in the movie. It seems that some voters take things very literally!
Thanks rinac for pointing out that you can in fact buy Wonka Bars in New Zealand, I've just never seen them. Oh well, that'll teach me for not being a chocoholic won't it! In the end I like to think that it had very little impact on the score though.

Umm, actually, there are Wonka bars here. I buy them for myself [cough] I mean, I buy them for my son all the time! Try Pak'n'save or Countdown :) Oh, and just to let you know, you're responsible for the new zits that popped on me up this week, thanks.
Oh, OK. Well I stand corrected. Perhaps I should have said "I've never seen one here" ;)

Chocolate is wonderful, and your image has a wonderful range of lighting reflection effects on the chocolate that is just delightful. Wish for an additional element to tie into 1971, but it may be good enough to stand alone.
Chocolate - don't we love it? A well done shot that has some wonderful repetition. The Cadbury brand takes away for me as it doesn't quite work with the title. 6
