After a couple months of coming here and not posting anything. I decided that I should finally start posting. It's become a resolution of mine to post more pictures here. I'm even considering joining the assignments.

I've got a few thoughts about the following picture but I'd like some suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

I love this. My only thought though is: the chocolate that is on top seems to want to be the focal point - but part of the label is lost in blur/overexposure. I think this picture would REALLY pop if that label were not muddled, and if it were more focused on. Other than that, I really like this (and I love Ferroro Roche.. too bad they're like 300 calories per 3 chocolates lol)

only two things come to mind- the DoF is such that no single chocolate is fully sharp, I'd adjust the focus/aperture. The other thing that bothers me is the glare on the wrapper - it might be worth using a polarizer to make it nice and clear.

Thanks for the suggestions. I also don't really like the background but with the space I have at my apartment it's hard to choose what to use.

Well done on the quick response.

Excellent, I'll keep the both suggestions in mind and shoot again.
