A good eye level angle and drizzling of warm chocolate over a chocolate sponge pudding make my mouth water and tummy rumble. It contrasts well against the white background and pleasing to the eye. Well done in making it into my top 10.

A well executed simple looking triptych image, giving the image a story narrative in the beginning, middle, and end. It has a good composition and your eye is drawn to single white chocolate, contrasted against the dark background. Well done in making it into my top 10.

Another image with a good eye level angle. There are a lot of different textures here, with the ice cream, biscuit, sponge, orange slices and a sprinkle of chocolate chips. The drizzle of warm chocolate make it look inviting. In my opinion, the red plate is a little distracting and would have looked better on a white background, but never the less, a great image. Well done in making it into my top 10.

With this image, I like the eye level angle in which it was taken. The green peppermint crisp contrasts well against the chocolate which is more pronounced on the white background. Well done in making it into my top 10.

***This contest is open to subscribers (members on the Challenger, Pro and Master subscription tiers). However if you're not a paying subscriber you can still purchase entries for £2 (GBP) per image.*** Photographing chocolate isn’t easy. For one thing, humidity and temperature can greatly affect chocolate. It’s also susceptible to damage from fingerprints, casual bumps and... just about anything else! Get it right, though, and you’ll create an image that’s almost universally loved.

This is a great image with a good composition and the colours go well together, but is unfortunately let down by looking washed out. A touch more contrast and saturation would have made this a better image and would have made my selection.
