I wonder if I will get any DNMC votes due to this being a dessert instead of a meal.
This took be a while to setup just right. I used my newly constructed light box, a pillow case as the background, and a vinyl tablecloth as the base. I went through multiple background colors and bases before I got to these.
Setup is pretty much as it looks. Open bag of marshmallows, box of graham crackers, and Hersey's bar in front of the constructed s'more. I roasted the marshmallow on my grill, since I didn't have a campfire handy. The s'more is sitting on a espresso saucer, which happen to be the perfect size. After setting all this up, I kept adjusting the lights until they looked exactly how I wanted (this was the hardest part).

Well done. I half wish that you had taken out the bright blue box from the background since its colorful keeps drawing my gaze. Either way, nice image.
love the table cloth choice for this one...i actually looked for one like that for a shot i was thinking about then went a diffent way... i wish the smore took up more of the frame, but i get all the ingredients in the back. nice shot
This throws me right back to our vacation camping just a month ago. Great idea for the challenge and well done photographically (is that a word?) My choice for yellow.
