 Darn you Basic Editing!! I would have loved to clean this up a bit. :-)

Chocolate bars sitting on some wood to raise it above the chocolate syrup. Walnuts and chocolate slices to add texture. Saw this in a book many years ago and wanted to try it - although getting "perfect"/unmarred chocolate is next to impossible! :-( (Hence the title.)

Slight crop and master sat, a little USM, resize, save for web - that's it. Used a homemade diffuser of poster board and napkin taped to a desklamp. This particular desklamp has helped me get three 6+ entries before, I'm hoping it will bring me luck once again! :-)

I'd only ask for it to be a touch sharper, otherwise I love it (how could I not love chocolate??)
