Not my obsession, but my better half's... and yes, it's more than a passion for her.
But then again I get to taste all kinds of chocolates

Perfect for the theme Jouko and nicely presented! I think it could have also worked well shot on a black reflective surface. Ohhh, Is that toffee I see

Hi Jouko,

Really nice shot. The effect here of making the chocolates seem to be floating really adds to the feel of obsession. Nice work and good luck this week,

Steve S.

I love the floating chocolate ring - very well shot and love of chocolate is definitely conveyed! I wonder what would the shot look like with the highlights on the piece at 5 o-clock toned down a bit? It may be just be that this piece is not my favoriate kind, so feel free to disregard -Amy

Jouko,

Nicely done. I am offering to come help clean up after this shoot. I have shot chocolate in the past and I know how hard it is to light control the lighting. Very well done. Good Luck.

You're probably right, and that's exactly what I originally had in mind...
however, the chocolates were disappearing fast, and I didn't have anything black available .... thanks Mike!

Great take ! That's an obsession for sure.

I find the collage a bit too evident and distracting. I would have prefered something natural.

Cheers,

Julien

Fine shot! I thought of doing something with chocolate but you certainly did a better one than I would have.

All the best,

Endre

Great composition and lovely colors. My girlfriend is also obsessed with chocolate...it provided the subject for my WA #274 submission!

Question is - where is the chocolate now? Good take on the assignment.
