 I was stuck for ideas until this popped into my head while going through the nude challenge. Going for the male vote with the nude, and the female vote with the chocolate.

Okay, here I was experimenting with curving the light around the breasts. Maybe the problem was dealing with shadows on a dark surface (useful to remember. On the whole I'm not sure about this shot - brown is a flat colour and it really lacks 'pop'. I hope the voters are kind for all the effort that went in.

My worst ever. Blah - it took ages to carve that chocolate. I'm blaming my monitor calibration.
