While the voting some guys asked how I did this photo:


OK, I will try to explane (Sorry for my english, I should go to an english teacher):
First I bought chocolate and chocolade sauce for ice cream. This type of sauce will get solid if it will be on ice.
I opend the chocolate and glutet an iron wire at the backside. Both in refrigerator.
Now I took a cup. Cutted a cardboard in round to put this in the cup. Made holes for the spoon and the wire on it.
After this I got the chocolate again and tried to glute it on a microfon stand with a film. It wasn't so easy, because on the chocolate condensed water.
After several tries it was holding.
I pushed the wire through the hole in the cardboard. Arranged the setting and poured the chocolate sauce over the wire and also in the cup.
I used a white cardboard as backdrop. One flash at the left only lighting the backdrop and one flash on right over my camera for the chocolate.
Take some photos.
In Photoshop:
Rotate, crop, Levels and Curves.
Resize and unsharp mask. Thats all.

Some comments are about the overall bad picture quality (over sharpend). Yes, you are right. But I had only 15 min after setting up the arrangement to make the photo and load it up. Next time I will start earlier.

Thanks for all who votes and make comments and who are helping me to become a better photograph.

Pretty cool shot and setup. A shame that the picture didn't do better, I marked it as one of my top entrys. You have several pictures with such good creativeness: Bleib dabei! keep it up.
