Just a quick studio shot. Took many diferent angles and views and I liked this one the best. I wish that I would have stopped down a little more to get the HERSHEY'S on the bar on the left in focus as well. I had some that were more in focus at that point but I didn't like the composition as much. So to all you picky people, hound away at how the focus is distracting or whatever other ways you might complain about the focus.

I really like the composition and the tones of this shot. It all just screams "chocolate"! I think what really makes this one work is the bit of whipped cream with the chocolate sprinkles...it adds nice interest to the drink. The bit of softness in the shot gives it a nice, relaxing feel. My favorite of the hot cocoa shots by far, and one of my top choices for the challenge.
The bottom half of the picture looks to be out of focus. Nice clarity on the top half. A picture I would expect to see inside a chocolate shop. well done. <8>
I like the chocolate mood you've created by using all these brown/chocolate colors. I wish you had gotten a large DOF so it could all be sharp - I think that would better suit the elegant lines and depth of contrast already in the shot. yum!
Soooooooo yummy! this is the most enticing photo yet! Yum! I wish the lighting was brighter from the left, but it's almost perfect. great crop and idea!
I wasnt sure about this one at first because of the out of focus chocolate at the bottom. The more I look at it the more I'm finding I like it. The tilted composition suggests to me a more stylised shot and so something I'd expect to see in a specialist coffeehouse. I could certainly see this being used to advertise the product.
