Yeah, 'nuff said. Need no words at all.

Btw, I really like the white background and lighting. Brings out the colour of the chocolate. Not just this one in particular, but the chocolate series so far. (:

@Treeeeesh: Thanks...it was my first serious attempt at trying to do the 'National Geographic' thing and make do with the materials available...I used the back of some packaging paper drapped over some boxes to create the white background and place the whole thing under a flourescent light...I call it the National Geographic method because I remember coming across an article in that most hallowed of journals about how their photographers out on location would make do with things like up-turned lamp shades and pillow sheets to recreate expensive studio equipment whilst in the field...that image has always stuck with me =)

Good attempt on the whole 'National Geographic' method. Love the composition of this shot although at first glance the chocolate looks a tad overexposed because of the clean white background.

@Daniel & Jessica: Thanks Daniel and Jessica! Really appreciate the constructive comments =D and I agree with you on looking overexposed...I think in future...if I had the time, I'd try to gloss the chocolate over to make the cream colour stand out more.
