Chocolate Photography

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A new type of photography where viewers will drool in jealousy. :mrgreen:

Very nice (chocolates and images), however, firstly, the WB seems a little warm with perhaps a magenta cast or something like that, and secondly, the out of focus objects in the foreground (2nd image) are a little distracting. But they look delicious! :D

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Oh, ja (lecker) :D

all what Bindii said but I'm drooling much more.
Is my eyesight failing or is the piece of white chocolate in the first image blurry ?
The piece next to it on the right hand side has very clear and sharp letters on its wrapping.
I do not quite understand why the chocolate pieces left to the wrapped one and particularly the
white chocolate appear very soft on my monitor.

Either way, may I have a sample of all - please ?
Regards,
CD

ahhhh where is the drool icon when you need one. I am a self confessed chocoholic.

Interms of the images I find the difference in background (gold vs table top) a bit distracting and I echo what Bindii said about the chocolates being in focus and the box not in focus not sure if this was done to highlight the branding?


Edit" Ooh I just thought of something maybe these would look good on a black backround, maybe scrunching up a a piece of black velvet material and them laying the golden piece and it and the chocs on top of this... just a thought.
