Certainly "exposed". In my opinion, the highlights on the wrappers should be broader (use something to diffuse the lights). I like the curve of the plate and, although I might have placed it a little differently, it adds interest to your composition.

Yummmmmmmmmmm! I don't stand a chance between this one and the food challenge! Exposing the sweet center of one of my favorite treats, wonderful idea. The reflections in the plate are very nice but the cropping leaves me just a tad off. The dark circle around the bottom of the plate ends up being a bit distracting and if they were just slightly more centered. The border also is a bit distracting, the small red one would have been enough, the addition of the black one takes away from the picture. I"m starting this one at a 6

I personally don't care for this border at all, also I think it would have worked better with the rest of the candies unwrapped.

Hum, I also tried to photograph these sweets. It's not easy at all...bounching lights. You did 95% better then my attempt last year. Well done and a good idea for the challenge.

Good Points:quite like the composition and colors
Bad Points:reflections are distracting, and could be a touch sharper on the chocolate. border really ruins this.
Score:5
