 These chocolate chips and Hershey Kiss were placed on a white backdrop and set up so that the chocolate chips were desiring to be a Hershey Kiss. The picture was cropped, contrast was edited, and saturation was edited.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I didn't vote in this challenge, so this is the first time I am seeing this image.

My initial reaction is, good idea, meets the challenge but is a bit weak technically. You have chosen an aperture that will give you a very shallow depth of field, but maybe for an image such as this, you would have been better using a deeper depth of field. I would have preferred to see the chips in focus. As you took the trouble to shoot on a white background, I'd like it to actually be white. Whatever saturation boost you have done, has given it a slightly reddish glow, coming presumably from the reflected light source.

One of your commenters suggested a different angle/perspective and I think I am incline to agree.

Overall, I think it's a nice take on this challenge subject but just spoiled by the slightly weak technicals.

I like the idea a lot. The angle, composition, and focus aren't resonating with me though. I wonder if it would work better if we saw the famous chip more from the point of view of the little chips so it looked more impressive? Also it seems like maybe the little chips should be in focus with the subject of their ambition out of focus in the background, as of yet unrealized.

This looks like their leader is emerging from his cocoon.

Chips aren't the focus, but the kiss
