My Fall and Halloween shots will be going up April 15. Already starting to see some Fall images selling. Slow, but it's a beginning. |

If you look closely you will see two shadows. The one closest to the eggs and objects is the one you want to have in. The secondary one (more bluish) is the ones you want to clean up.
I usually do not recommend having images that contain multiple objects done as isolations.
I have to say though I am having trouble with the egg and chocolate concept. You are showing an holder that is often used with a soft boiled egg and the egg has chocolate on it. I have been cooking for almost 50 years and have seen all kinds of food but that is a new one on me. Chocolate goes well with eggs that have been made into a custard but this one has me stumped.
I have rules about food photography and one of them is if it doesn't belong don't put it in the shot. |
You've never eaten a chocolate egg?!? Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. |
But the egg is usually a chocolate covered marshmallow egg. |
Not where I come from.
The best Easter eggs are full chocolate inside an eggshell. I have two of them in my fridge...
I've never even heard of a chocolate covered marshmallow egg in my life.... :O |

Come to NZ any time between Jan and Easter and you can grab a pack to indulge. Just hope you aren't diabetic. :-) |

Good. Like I said the shots were fine for getting accepted. Nice and clean. Sales are what counts though. I have a feeling that the one without the chocolate will sell better than the ones with the chocolate. Anyway, I hope they do well for you. |
