 I'm still working on lighting & focus.
I guess I'm still learning my camera.

Crop, levels, curves, Brightness adjustment.

This comment from below was correct. All the "artifacts" and "digital noise" was actually the texture of the white plastic cutting board that the chocolates were placed on. I've learned that it was not a suitable platform. Thanks to the rest of ya for the constructive criticism.

Love it but if there wasn't maybe some noise on the top half of the pisture it would maybe be a little better.8

Nice idea. Lots and lots of artifact and noise. The light on the right one is very harsh and distracts the eye. We now have your fingerprints on record (the middle one). (C:

Like the lighting 8)

I like your idea, but the lighting is off, and there's too much reflection on the chocolate wrappers. Also, the photo isn't the best quality, as it is extremely grainy.

It could be that I'm used to only dark chocolate in a Kiss (if these are suppose to be more of a butterscotch color - I apoligize) but the center kiss seems too yellow/washed out -- could be a color adjustment's needed or a different color light?

Cool shot. The lighting could be improved I think. The blue in the bottom left corner is distracting to me and the overall yellowish tinit is a bit much.

The specular highlight distracts me from the subject.

Too noisy, but good idea

Looks a little out of focus. Maybe a little grainy.

A little too grainy - ISO set too high? The blue lighting in the bottom left hand corner also distracts the attention from the subject.

Good composition. The overall quality of the pic seems pretty low (poor focus, harsh lighting). It may be the overall Digital quality of the pic, not the way it was shot... dunno

great idea, but seems over exposed and grainy.

Oh boy ... too much grain here, and the quality is poor.

Try to use care with shiny foil papers, they real flash. Tissue on your flash will help or bounce the light off a wall. These look good enough to eat. Best of luck.
