Chocquamarine

Me March: Something I like to eat- did you really think I'd post something other than chocolate?

Mull Over March word- woman. No way am I doing a selfie today! You get a bonus word instead- aquamarine. So the bowl is aqua and when you put chocolate chips in it you get...

Thank you Kerri, Lisa, Allison, Nicole, Chrystal, Vikki and Donald! Off to eat some chocolate for International Woman's Day...

[Taffy]

Clever mash-up of the two themes/challenges. Great colors, and the chocolate is sooo inviting.

[Laraine Kensicki]

beautiful complimentary colors - i like the soft look of this ~

[Lyn]

I love the soft focus here, Ann. And isn't there something just perfect about that shade of turquoise?

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Fav! Beautiful focus, light and colours and yes yum,,,, a very good idea!

[Tanja Carda]

Hmmm my all time favorite food and you captured it beautifully. Stunning lighting, tones and pov =)

[Phil]

Mmm works for me. What wonderful colours & a cracking idea!! Food for the eyes and the palate.

[alia_801]

I think chocquamarine is a great word and now intend to use it as often as possible... I like the light and focus in your pic too :)

[Chris]

Yummy!

[Dione Giorgio]

Who doesn't love chocolate?

[Amy]

Great colours!

[Rick Schies]

Nice idea, and clever too.

[Mrs. Smith]

Perfect composition. No selfie? Sometime soon!

Thank you Taffy, Laraine, Lyn, Ruth, Tanja, Phil, Alia, Chris, Dione, Amy, Rick and Carla!

So glad you like the shot- and my new word!

[Vickie Posey]

Yummy, yummy!!! Nice shot, I like the colors :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@vposey Thanks Vickie!

[Carole Imes]

Great thinking and I love the soft tones! And of course, CHOCOLATE!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cimes1 Thanks Carole! Yes, as Dione said, who doesn't love chocolate?!

[Edie]

Yum...and I love the matching tones. Very nice focus too. Really pretty shot.

[Matthew Evans]

I like the depth of field. Makes me hungry though.

[Nada A.]

Chocolate for you and me both. Love the color of the bowl.

[bkb in the city]

nothing like a nice chocolate treat

[Cathy Donohoue]

I love the way that your mind works.
And what woman has a fave other than chocolate. We are hard wired for that.
Lovely colors.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@edie Thanks Edie! I had it sharply in focus but it made the chocolate look a little unappealing- decided to soften it in the post processing and really liked the outcome.
@dyswis Thanks Matthew!
@nadaa Thanks Nada!
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!
@cdonohoue Thank you Cathy! Oh my mind works alright! lol

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@ruthmouch A belated thank you for the fav Ruth!

[Bev]

Clever title and clever shot too! I love chocolate too! Show me a woman who doesn't?? I love the focus on this. I have figured out my macro for focusing on objects up front, but now I need to figure out how to do something like this. Very well done, Ann! :)

[bruni]

This is so clever Ann. show my a woman who doesn't like chocolate. I think we're all suckers for chocolate..

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thanks Bev! Although I took this shot in focus I put it through the soft focus effect when processing. What I did do while taking the photo was to allow the over exposure to remain in the shot. That helped soften it considerably.
@bruni Thank you Bruni! I think I've only known 2 women throughout my lifetime that didn't like chocolate.

[Lisabell]

Nice processing! And your title is very clever! I just love a good play on words!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@lisabell Thank you Lisa! What is it they say, "Necessity is the mother or invention"? Something like that! haha This shot and word were born out of necessity!

[Liane]

yum! great pov

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@lfrans Thank you Liane!

[Jeff Walker]

love the colors, light and softness

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@jsw0109 Thank you Jeff! lol Anytime the shot includes food it has to be chocolate!

[Allegresse]

Awesome word combo! I especially love this because aqua was our wedding color. We got married in March. So, aqua in march is always very special to me. =)

Lovely processing and composition here.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@allegresse Thank you Allegresse! And Happy Anniversary!
