Comment by Kavey:
A nice idea but doesn't quite work for me.
a) The texture of the chocolate is not appealing - it looks congealed. It's also smeared up inside the egg shell just above the surface of itself. Also looks too dark and reddish.
b) The background material colour and texture is too prominent.
c) The cutlery is somewhat mismatched and distracts (me) from the concept itself.

For some reason this looks really gross. Like it rotted or something. Maybe a lighter color of chocolate would make this more appealing. Would do better with solid black background since you want the focus on the egg. DOF is almost perfect, but the spoon makes it look off.

a bit deeper dof would keep the spoon in focus (I like the blurred backdrop) the lighting is flat -- playing with it may help add some punch.

Like the concept * background - very creative.

The selective desaturation ruins the outdoor feeling since we can't see the green grass. Weird choice for this. The product is prominently displayed but in a pretty boring way. The cropping at the lower edge is too close. It looks like the laptop is falling off the edge of the frame.
