Feb 19: Light & Dark

So here is it is... todays beach shot.
The pebbles are a new sweet from NestlΓ© called Vice Versas and the sea-shell are Sainsbury's sea-shells (yes they are a couple of quid cheaper and taste just as good)?
This did not come out as well as it did in my mind as unfortunately the darker chocolate was not as dark as I would have liked (I may have to go back for some more).
Anyway, here it is, after a little editing to add selective color in the centre and black/white around the edges..

Alternative shot: (there isn't one today, sorry)
Another shot where I would also like to thank Sean O'Neill for his help and guidance with this post. "It's generally best to have a long story as cover for crap shots!!

Thanks again Sean

I totally wanted to do a vice versas shot but couldn't find any anywhere! :( send you spares this way.
February 19th, 2013  
very nice Bulldog
February 19th, 2013  
This is a great shot Bulldog. I especially like the chocolate fish - looks like really solid chocolate. Love your processing.
February 19th, 2013  
There aren't any spares I'm afraid, and there is only a couple of shells left...

Thank you Lucy. I don't normally do much processing but this once either needed this, or deleting.

They look quite yummy. Never heard of vice versa chocolates, are they exclusively British?
February 19th, 2013  
Good shot. They look yummy

I like the way the bowl is held in this shot :) those chocolates needs to be popped into the freezer for a bit then they might be ok!
February 19th, 2013  
Looks great! Love the story too!
February 19th, 2013  
Yes, they have just been re-reliesed over here. http://www.nestle.co.uk/media/pressreleases/vice%20versas

I was going to get dark and light chocolate, but insanity prevailed and I snapped the office shredding inside - how I wish I had gone down the sane chocolate route! I could be scoffing the lot right now! Don't leave the chocs out for the dogs!
February 19th, 2013  
I WANT SOME!
February 19th, 2013

February 19th, 2013

Light and dark chocolate is darn near perfection.
February 19th, 2013  
I bought some of these for Steve my hubby for Christmas and they are still in the box. He's got more will power than me. If they were mine they would have gone weeks ago! Nice shot - they look all shiny and scrumptious
February 19th, 2013  
You should open them for "todays shot" and then scoff the lot!
@rosiekind
February 19th, 2013  
They are very nice

They look yummy! I thought of doing dark and light chocolate but as I have just given away the giant walnut whip and its little brothers so that I wouldn't eat them it seemed a bit too tempting to go out and buy more! When I have chocolate in the house I can hear it calling "eat me"! Lol!
February 19th, 2013  
Very creative shot and you get the eat the props.
February 19th, 2013  
Yummy shot
February 19th, 2013  
great idea! yummy too!
February 20th, 2013  
Very clever and as always, you had me at chocolate!!!
February 20th, 2013  
Great shot. Now, I am hungry for chocolate! I like the hands around the bowl. I felt like you were offering me some chocolate. Don't I wish!
February 20th, 2013  
Great take on the words today!
February 20th, 2013  
it is 1.01am and now I am hunting to eat chocolate :-) ~ lovely detail
February 20th, 2013  
Uhm, these chocolates are delicious... Great idea for the words.
February 20th, 2013  
I would eat my mistakes and try again ....I don't think I could ever get a picture like this right... try try and try again.
February 20th, 2013  
Lyn
they do look quite yummy, but I wouldn't fault you for trying more as well!!
February 20th, 2013  
Cool looking pic.
February 20th, 2013  
Clever photo Bulldog. Am looking at this at 7:55 and I'm now craving chocolate!
February 20th, 2013  
I'm on my way over.....great shot
February 20th, 2013

Hi everyone, I tried saying thanks last night but got caught up in the new Spam filters, so I thought I would get up early and try to say thank you before they woke up.

THANK YOU ALL for your wonderful comments.
