 I got this box of chocolates from work yesterday, and my coworkers and I did a gret job of decimating almost 2 pounds of See\'s Chocolate! I brought home what was left, set it on a black piece of paper, and here you go. I airbrushed the background to make it blacker, cloned out the logo on the front of the box, and spot healed a few distracting crumbs in the box. Shot in raw and I adjusted saturation, exposure, and contrast in order to make the red really pop. Taken with 1 Alien Bee 400 above it with an umbrella. Enjoy!

Yes, isn't it funny how a pound of chocolates can do that! Add 5 pounds! Really nice setup and contrast..

In my opinion, the light seems a little harsh. Maybe a softer background would help this.
