Specially purchased this really expensive box of chocolates for the shoot because I liked the exclusive look of the box. Big was my disappointment when I opened the box to discover that the contents looked drab and uninspiring and did not match the quality look of the box at all. So off to the supermarket I rushed and purchased some budget chocolates that looked really great and colorful. Emptied the exclusive box of it's contents and arranged the budget chocolates in the exclusive box for the shoot. Placed box on a mirror and used reflection of lounge wall as background. Shot with camera on tripod using natural daylight from outside diffused by a white bed sheet in conjunction with my onboard flash diffused with a few strips of white toilet paper.
Ps. The exclusive chocolates looked uninspiring but tasted really sublime and the rose is real, not a fake.

LOL! I was wondering if the chocolates would serve a dual purpose, and I see that they did! And yes, you should randomly bring your girlfriend chocolates even when you don't need them for a challenge! Huge congrats an another addition to your top row - two at a time is pretty impressive!
I like the choice of bg color, it complements the chocolate beautifully. I also like the use of the rose, it brings out some of the decorative elements on the candy.
Everything about this is perfect, lighting, focus, subject, nice addition of the rose as well. There's nothing I can see that I would change, good job! I gave you a 10.
