I think the chocolate needs to be more part of the image.

Nice composition & great model but the harsh burst from the (camera mounted?) flash makes the image seem a bit too much like a snapshot. I suggest using several light sources with a competetive brightness to your flash next time, or no flash at all.

nice photo of a cute boy, but the main subject should be chocolate

The main problem is that the lighting is too direct and harsh, as if from a camera hotshoe-mounted flash. Using off-camera light sources off to the side and using a reflector or diffuser to soften the light would make this picture a hundred times better.

Also, the choice of a blue background and the blue uniform is actually not a good choice. The subject isn't well separated from the background.

The placement of the subject is pretty good, although it might be more interesting if the camera was lower, it's kind of looking down on the boy and might be improved by getting lower.

This is a good idea. The image could be improved by correcting the white balance. The photo is way too blue. Also the composition coul be improved with a more "frontal" viewof the balacing utensles. To create a better effet the glass should also be straight. I hope this helps.

The emphasis here doesn't seem to be the chocolate, but the boy. It's a nice, clear shot - but the lighting is very harsh. It would be tough to take a shot with that shiny material he's wearing. Very cuite little guy!

My eyes are drawn to the color blue and cute child, not the chocolate.
