I'm not completely satisfied with this, but it was unfortunately the only idea I came up with for the challenge. I waited too long to take the photo, hence the giant, awful shadow. I was thinking that this was an Advanced Editing challenge, since I skipped the Balance one - but luckily I thought to check before using my edited version. Oh well. I'm sure the competition'll be too fierce for it to make much of a difference ;)
for some reason, i keep coming back to this photo. i would have liked it more if you had used a plain plate, or perhaps one that was a nice contrasty color to the orange, like blue. anyways, good idea and nice snap.
Whew! I almost did this too. I love Terry's Oranges!
Extremely well done.
I found a very quick pass of a lighter over the chocolate surface got rid of a lot of those crumbs and really put a glossy finish on it.
Unnatural, indeed, but sooooo CREATIVE! :-) I love the vivid colours with the pastel plate, lighting is fine, wonderful sharp... definitely ribbon winner! I keep my fingers crossed for you! (10)
Great idea. The lighting is interesting and works well. I would have perhaps used a plain plate. The pattern does distract a bit from the main subject.
creative, and I love choco oranges during the holidays. tight crop on plate, a bit too much light from left side, maybe use a fill on the right to even it out a little? 6
It's not Terry's - it's mine!
Nice idea. The plate is disgusting (to me) and doesn't do anything for the image. I think it would be better to place orange and choc directly on the white surface.
one of the best lit entries, a plainer plate would keep my attention on your main subject. the orange peal on the side of the plate isn't appetizing and I think removing it would help simplify the composition.
Now I like this .. the thing I don't like is the lighting (the shadow), and the plate. I think a nice white or orange colored plate to match the orange/chocolate would mix well. Very clever idea.
i like this concept a lot, but the flowery plate detracts..... perhaps a dark background too add some mood and lighting to show the different textures of the peel and the chocolate inside. well done.
