Dangit, I'd better bust 5 with this -- I"ve reshot the crazy thing I don't know how many times. :(

Still not as crisp as I would like, and the background still isn't the color I want, but midnight is approaching . ..

Nice idea, but lighting is harsh and focus is soft.

like it - think a little levels adjustment or fade correction would have made it pop just a little more from the background. 7

Success! This makes me want chocolate real bad...
Very nice pic. I especially appreciate the full depth of field.

Refreashing to see something other than a bug or a flower...and chocolate, no less. YUM. This is a very nice close-up and the picture is composed well. It just appears a tad flat. Perhaps a little level adjustment would give it more depth and pop.

the color seems pretty washed out here.

The background has a slight yellow hue to it. Perhaps a little bump in brightness would do the trick

cool take on the challenge...a bit too grainy and out of focus.

Good detail on this shot, and definitely nice and close. I feel like the colors in the shot are a little bit flat. Not sure if that's due to lighting or what. But I feel like if the blue on the wrapper was brighter and the color of the chocolate stood out a bit more, this photo would really pop. I like the composition a lot, with the chocolate over to the side.

Beautiful

Pretty good idea, the highlights started to blow out in some areas.
I little more work with your lighting would help the chocolate look more natural as well ( a softbox or diffuser placed just inches over the top with the light close as well often gives me good results)

The candy looks dull - like it's been in the frig - maybe I'm the only chocoholic who would notice that. Good detailing and composition.

I love this one!! The tin foil really adds to the macro element, and the huge lettering on the Kiss tag. But it's a very pleasing photo to look at. No hairy bugs eyes here :) Great job.

Nice idea, but the contrast looks to be too high... Could be a really nice shot. 5

It is really nice to see something other than a bug or flower...the only thing that bothers me slightly about this image is the lighting...it seems very flat...perhaps it's the white background adding to this? I keep wanting to see more light and shadow play.
