I think this is a great photograph & I think there is a little bit of chocolate junkie in all of us. I think the choice to make this B&W was a good one too.
The place missed the humor. It seems once a subject such as drugs is too derogatory the very sense of humor is lost with those with the jaundice eye. Hey, I am placing this in my favs right now.
The choice of black and white works really well. The subject is quite bizzare which is enhanced by the cartoon rabbit leering out of the corner of the picture. The lighting, contrast and textures are great. I wonder if the lighting was a bit more " low key" if it would push the "bizzare" angle a little further.
Too funny. And his addiction is obviously affecting his finances - he's injecting the cheap stuff - you don't know what they cut into that - it's not pure chocolate you know! Black and white works well!
You've created a very well-done B&W - good tonal range from white whites to black blacks. Compositionally - I don't like the lock of hair - but it does hide the bright white t-shirt. The drips of cnocolate on the table add a nice touch. The use of drug appartus to make your point is both clever and bothersome.
