Ha! Not all animals look good on all sides and you caught this one in his glory. Love the textures and shapes and the sturdy little legs!

It's close. Big difference for me is the lighting and contrast. This seems a little flat and the berries washed out. Additionally, the lighting in yours is from the left where Lucie's was more direct overhead and slight right. It's a good attempt, don't get me wrong. Just not quite the same impact.

The crooked cloth underneath is noticeable straight away. Edit is a bit flat. Great composition though.

Welcome back! Although you have not been away that long it seems. Always great to have strong competitor like you in the group.

Comment by willem:
I found the original. A good effort to emulate it. Nice old spoon, berries placed exactly the same, similar crop. But it is missing the same feel because you used a very different light source. You used a harsh light from the left while the original was made with a soft (large) light from the right, resulting in very different shadows and emphasis of the shapes.

I like the composition, the backlight and the DOF. More than just chocolate.
