As soon as I saw this challenge I thought about hopper's entry here. Now his is SOOOO much better than mine. You would not believe how hard it is to find a good Hershey's Kiss. Oh BTW I think I gained 5 pounds looking for a decent one. Anyway, I'll be happy to get a 6 out of this but I just don't see it happening. I think my editing is sloppy and I don't like the way it turned out but I'm going to enter it in anyway.

Great concept now that I get it. It took me a few views and minutes to get the "kiss" part. Maybe its me but I don't think I've ever seen a Hershey kiss with a top quite that round.
The ring is beautiful...the chocolate kiss is not. I actually didn't know it was chocolate until I read your title. I think that the Kiss took away from your image.
Nice idea and setup. Lighting does not do much to display the brilliance/fire of the center diamond. Also the chocolate lacks a rich feel and looks, well, cheap like hershey's.

This is such a hard shot to accomplish. The kiss really needs to be a darker, richer brown. It also needs to be either included more in the DOF, or further outside the realm of focus. The diamonds lack the contrast/sparkle that jewelry photography is known for.
This is a really good shot, I think however the dark chocolate brown is really distracting and perhaps a white hershies kiss wouldve been better for this 7
