 The idea is to hint at her being both inside a chocolate wrapper and really enjoying the chocolate.

Shot RAW, edited in PSCS3

Cropped slightly.
Adjusted the usual curves, colours and so on.
Worked quite a bit in a couple 50% gray soft-light layers to dodge/burn to my liking.
Resized, sharpened, saved for web.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments :) Learned something here, failure to communicate is not good :))))) Got to get those ideas done clearly, or it doesn't work.

Beautiful! Good work from the model, too. Chocolate ecstasy. Soft and dreamy, good color palette. The wrinkled backdrop detracts slightly, but a high score from me.

At first I thought this was overdone, and the background distracted me. Then I realized that the background reminded me of being IN a chocolate bar wrapper, which is awesome! And the expression.. maybe it is a tad overdone, but I think the model pulls it off very well. 10!

Looks like she's in a wrapper of a much larger chocolate bar. The darks are almost lost. She also looks like a chocolate coma is coming soon.

the first thin gI noticed was the bg. it detracts my attention from the model. pose and PP are well done.
