I would have scored your chocolate pic a higher than I did but it looks like you used a metal bowl. (cringing) lol I hate eating anything out of metal. The sound and feel of cutlery scraping up against it give me severe goosebumps. I am almost getting them just thinking about it. lol 30th place is pretty good :) Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see your album cover.
Thanks for your votes and comments, kind peeps of DPC land...this was actually a fairly last-minute stab at the challenge...five white chocolate truffles, hershey's syrup, positioned carefully on a (get this) E-Z Bake Oven pan...(I know...I know), all on top of my old Sony camera's box with a piece of white fabric draped over it and a piece of foam core for the BG. Lit with two desk lamps. When I first processed the picture in PS, it was kind of yellow, so I desaturated all the yellows, and this is what I got. Who knew?? LOL ;o)
Great fit to the theme with good lighting & not too busy.
First thought was it needed more chocolate, but the more I thought about it, less is more on this shot. I can picture this on the wall of an ice cream parlor. One of the top 20 for me.
Quite a simple shot but a very appealing one also. I like the mix of metallic place and blue background tones as they give the shot a slightly 'cool' feel. The composition is good, the focus is fine, and it looks good enough to eat.
