Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Andrea,
Congratulations on a very good execution of a very difficult concept. I've learnt from my own experience just how difficult it is to photograph brown chocolate in an attractive fashion. I think you have doen a superb job of getting your lighting just right on the folds of molten chocolate - they look beautifully silky-smooth - this is what your image is about, and is why it did as well as it did. The excessive blow-out on the pouring chocolate however looks harsh; and with this challenge harsh is bad. Likewise the wrapper, especially the gold, is harsh, and detracts from the smoothness. It could be argued that it provides the a contrast to emphasise the smooth, but I think that could have been achieved with less wrapper. One idea might have been to have a white background to brighten the image up - brown on black leaves little scope for your subject to stand out.
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
Cheers
Paul |

| Nice shot but the spelling of the title is disappointing |

| Conceptually nice but it would have been better if the background is white because dark background is killing the concept, I guess. |

| Nice job on this. I would like to see a tighter crop on the actual chocolate without the wrapper in the image (or perhaps just a slight edge of the wrapper showing). 8 |
