| nice image - great focus. IMO, a bit more light on the diamonds would have helped, and perhaps given them the bit of sparkle they lack, and there is some slight haloing around some the edges - eg the very tip of the the kiss and the bottom left and mid right of the kiss as well. Otherwise, great job. - 8 |

| Great shot. Only thing I would change is to use one of the chocolates that still has the swirly / droop down thing at the tip and shine it up with some oil or something. Great job though! |
