Thanks for all the comments, can't say that I agree with one of them, but hey, I guess you have to put up with the idiots of the world every now and then.

a product is not a pleasure by itself, you see... only somebody who used it and enjoyed the process could identify with it, but not somebody who did not. believe me, there are tons of people out there who do not even know what it is you are showin here.

It would have been even better if you brought one chocolate chip right up close, I think. But I like 'em, too...good idea!

mmmm....chocolate.... IMO, this shot might benefit from a little more depth of field so that more of the chips were in focus.

Hello! I really like the idea of this shot, the chips spilling out of the bag. It's nice. The dof seems a bit shallow tho.

Mmmm, yes indeed. Fits the challenge well but I am not fond of the table top/background.

the table top subtracts from the image...a plain white paper or other solid color could have helped.

Chocolate is definately a pleasure in life, however, I think the lines of the table distract from the chocolate too much.

Nice idea but you have not made the choc drops look very appetising.
