Had a hard time with the swirl. Couldn't come up with anything thick enough to actually make the chocolate swirl so used whipping cream. Took a little while w/the mixer to get it thick enough to be able to keep the chocolate from just dissolving. Thanks to my wife for not minding the messy kitchen (I'm not very good w/a mixer)

Red background a bit too much for me...

Now I want some chocolate. The red background really makes the photo stand out.

Red competes with subject matter. Label is distracting too, especially since it is out of focus. Technical issues aside, It seems as though you put some thought into the leading lines. The eye tends to be drawn in by the bottle and follow the chocolate line.

The red and the white really pop with contrast, but the picture is kinda blah for me. The scratches in the table distract. Maybe if the focus was on the chocolate syrup botle?

nice idea, I like the heart at the end of the swirl. The red background doesn't do anything for me but not bad

The focus seems a little soft on the lettering of the bottle and shadow is a little distracting, would have been cleaner if it could eliminated.

I really like the idea and the chocolate looks really good. The backround is just a little bit too bright for my eyes.

The background is too bright.

I don't like it and the red is over powering. Nice swirl though.

I am lactose intolerant, so just looking at this picture gives me the Hershey Squirts!

Seriously... I have been on the toilet for hours... I think I might die...

I like the angle, the composition and the vivid background. Cool shot.

Great picture, I like the backround matching the stripe on the bottle

Can't care for the colour combination, otherwise a good shot.
