Nothing surprises me more than such fantastic photographs of usual things! This photograph is ready to be published as a perfect advertisment for the chocolate!!!
Brilliant shot!!!

Ahhhhh Chocolate..... If it's dark one then I'm on my knees.... I cannot resist dark chocolate at all.....
This is quite a photo Galina! One that apeals to all our senses like Phil Douglis so well pointed out.
You've worked this composition with mastery, with a great control of the light. I love it! It looks like a professional shot for an ad! It could be in any magazine and it would sell for sure.
Congratulations.

Melancholy? Maybe you are allergic to chocolate ;-). A really excellent presentation, light is amazing! You've gone and aroused my sweet tooth...lol.

I just discovered this gallery, Galina. It is liked finding buried treasure. This image stunned me -- the wrapping was unfamiliar but the unmistakable sight and smell of the chocolate within stirred both my imagination and my appetite. Do you know how hard it is to make an image that appeals to all five of the senses simultaneously? You've done that here. The eye is drawn by the flash of silver on black, the nose and mouth by the sight of the rich brown candy within, the ear by the tearing of foil, and of course the fingers want to reach out and peel away even more. Temptation, to be sure. Strange that you have placed this among images filed under "Melancholy" which is a deep, pensive and long lasting sadness. Perhaps you meant nostalgic?

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.

Wonderful light, Galina!

I like the title and what is inside the silver paper... On top of it, you are showing it in a very nice way. The shot is technically very good.

Nice shot Galina, good light and exposure.
But take care this is a drug, this is addictive :-)
