:: Hello from the Critique Club ::
............................................................
This is a good idea and the chocoalte has really got my tste buds in a headlock.
However, the lighting and composition have lessened it's impact and potential significantly. I would place this kind of shot in the same category as 'sexy chocolate' for purposes of technique, in which case i would have made the following adjustments:
> Shoot lower down and closer to the free segment
> Don't use head-on flash. It's harsh and flattens the subject.
> Try to use multiple, directional light sources - as if it is in sexy, low lighting. This would give form to the subject and suggest context
> Use a tripod (you may have anyway)
> Attempt to make the chocolate look 'perfect'. A professional shoot would definitely demand that the subject would appear as appetising as possible.
> Spread the two elements further apart to improve composition
> Experiment with the depth of field - getting in close on each part with narrow DOF to see what looks best.
> Consider a more appropriate surface - maybe reflective to enhance the composition, add interest and insinuate cleanliness
Hope this helps. : )

| I'll bet that's yummy, but it loses some appeal because the brown center tends to look like a rotten core. The highlights are a bit hot for my taste, but pretty good overall. |

| This is a interesting combination. Composition is ok. Lighting is probably ok, but the focus appears really soft. Pretty good overall. |

| good idea. The light portion of the apple seems a bit over exposed. |
