Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: I think your soft focus hurt your score with this image. Studying the capture, it looks like a glamour-type soft filter of some sort was used. While it gives the image a appealing look, I think that it serves as more of a distraction than anything else. Looking through your previous comments, it seems that the voters felt the same way.

Lighting: Overall, the lighting is fairly even and nice, but the highlight at the top of the glass is a bit distracting. It competes too much with the viewer's eye, thus pulling the eye away from the meat of the composition.

Composition/Content: I really like the idea, and the sticky relation is easily made. However, I would like to have seen this one with a longer trail of chocolate. With short stream abruptly dropping out of the frame, you also cause the viewer's eye to drop right out with it. With a looser crop, you would have allowed the eye to flow more through the image rather than right out of the frame.

My Opinion: I believe that you did a nice job meeting the image is a very creative manner. I think with a more crisp focus and a litter better lighting, this one would have pulled a much better score. Even with the adjustments that could have been made, I think the 4.7 is a little low.

Not sure the soft focus works well for this shot.

The soften effect sorta takes away from the photo slightly.

I love the composition on this shot, though it might have been better if it were sharpened a bit.

Needs more work on the lighting. Also, it may have looked better from a different angle.

very soft focus, and the glare on the glass is distracting...good concept, just needs a little editing

Clever idea marred somewhat by bad lighting (reflections of florescent ceiling lamps?)

I don't care for the gaus. blur effect (that's what it looks like to me, I'm still learning) Causes the rim to look out of focus.
