Mmmmm, my favourite. My wife just bought me a bar of this stuff for my birthday, some gourmet brand that costs about $15 for one bar. Wooeee, this stuff is GOOD!
Anyway, back to the photo. This is my first entry with off-camera flash (again, thanks to my birthday). Lit from the left with direct flash, and a silver reflector card on the right to fill the shadows, and a hand-held reflector to highlight behind the flag. The flash is goboed off the background and floor, because the darker background helped the crystal glass to shine better.
The flag was a last minute touch to add some colour.
Editing is pretty minimal. Curves, sat, minor cloning, a very light burn on the top and left edges to enhance the darkening, selective USM, crop, resize, border. Now all that's left to do is eat the nougat. My wife has been at me to open the packet so she can have some. Yes, she eats my birthday presents. :)
