i find the shallow depth of field to detract from the great subject. perhaps use external flash, or tripod to allow smaller aperture and greater depth of field.
When I saw the thumbnail for this I had high hopes for this - it is certainly a good idea. I'm new to DPC and haven't seen much of others work yet but there are a few things that spoil this for me ...
1. It's out of focus
2. The lesser red marks to the left and underneath the chocolate are distracting
3. The contents of the chocolate don't have any room to flow into - might have been better to leave more space to the right and below for this.
A very good idea. I think that close-ips such as this need to be very sharp. This is so almost a great shot but falls short because of the softness (IMO).
