Very nice. Good usage of DOF and the mainsubject is pretty sharp. The lightning could maybe have been better to give better expression of the texture. But as I said, very good.

might help not having the subject in the center, try croping it diffrently.

I liked for the fact of fleeing to the patterns, showing the fruit.

The focus is supposed to be CHOCOLATE, not a cocoa pod
