Part of a whole series I shot with two models, strawberries, and melted chocolate. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

Special thanks to Jessica_SLC for being my model.

Awesome. Good pose, I like the choice for the background, and the chocolate driping down the hand is marvelous. It looks tasty and disgusting at the same time...
 02/27/2007 11:35:45 AM
So nice
Hope to see it on the top page
 02/27/2007 09:14:13 AM
Wow! The colors, the look on the model's face, all of is great!
 02/27/2007 07:34:41 AM
it's Chocolate... someone needs a dictionary... www.dictionary.com LOL Love the shot, original idea, the background, the lighting, all excellent.. I'm sure that was a messy shoot hence the "chocolate" on the hands. Scoring it a 9, without chocolate on the hands a 10.

messy....
 02/26/2007 12:38:57 PM
odd angle of her neck but I guess the props were a bit messy :)
fun and creative take on the challenge -- one of my favorites this challenge
 02/26/2007 09:38:12 AM
great portrait, the colour composition is fantastic.
 02/26/2007 09:35:12 AM
This photo could be a commercial!
 02/24/2007 06:29:04 AM
Very fun! Nicely lit, too.
 02/23/2007 07:19:53 PM

 02/23/2007 09:14:22 AM
No, that's lust :o) .. but great photo..
 02/22/2007 05:13:40 PM
Mmmmmmmmm.... I have a sudden craving for chocolate. :-) We rock!
 02/22/2007 04:18:32 AM
Fabulous lighting, good composition and colors, the dried chocolate on her hands gives it a slight setup kinda feel.
 02/22/2007 03:50:55 AM
Messy! Great lighting.
 02/21/2007 10:52:04 PM
yum
 02/21/2007 01:20:44 PM
the best in the challenge...good luck 10
 02/21/2007 10:26:55 AM
SOOOOOOO much potential! Well lit, nice background, beatiful model, mod haircut, . .BUT The bottom half takes away SO much. it looks like mud not chocolate, and it's all dried up. if you can take this again with a smaller silver spoon with DARK chocolate only on the ladel of the spoon and tip of her tongue touching it.. . it would be a 9.
 02/21/2007 06:30:28 AM
Yum
 02/21/2007 04:26:55 AM
Great job you two, you and the model. The shot looks excellent. Just think dark chocolate or a mix of the two would've work better or with milk chocolate just have it drip down to her hands and bit further and not completely smothered in all it's goodness ;)
 02/21/2007 02:49:59 AM
Great crop .. very commercial ..
 02/20/2007 10:49:40 PM
Give me that spoon right now!
 02/20/2007 09:20:54 PM
Very nice expressions,colors,composition.
 02/20/2007 08:37:09 PM
Nice composition, but I think the chocolate on the hand is a bit much.
