Chocolate is one of the most appealing browns I can think of! This particular cookie was baked by one of my daughters on our Christmas Cookie Marathon Baking Day, from my mom's recipe. I licked the kiss to get it to pick up the light better, so of course I *had* to eat the model after the session was over ;-)
Lit with a lamp to one side and speedlight on camera; -1.5 exposure compensation.
PP - not a lot: rotated, cropped, levels, curves on red to darken the Hershey's kiss, desat/darkened on blue/green range to blacken background more, resized, sharpened

Hmmm, yum! I just finished making a batch myself. :-) Nice closeup...I wonder if mine have cooled down enough to "taste-test" - you've made me hungry for one. Good lighting too.
Typically at DPC, food doesn't look really good because people don't control their white balance well. This actually looks edible (trust me, I mean that as a compliment). DOF works well, I like the composition for the subject. 7
