Thanks Billy: I'm glad I got your taste buds going but be careful - Raf told me that this might be fattening LOL

Nice composition and colours, you have created an "old-advertise-like" image very pleasant to look at.
Great competitors all around, but your pic has gained at least a place in my TT... and "damned" extra info, you made me hungry!! LOL!!! I want one of those!! :-D

Raf: Many thanks for your comments - very much appreciated. Are you sure about the weight gain bit? I was under the impression chocolate was fat and calorie free - a veritable health food. LOL LO(belly)L

LaRee - Thank you, I am so glad you liked it.
Jade: We have a saying in Ireland "It's a wise man that knows his own father" so you might be right on any one of those LOL I notice that your 'boring' comment was carefully (and well) worded considering our exchange in the forum:-) And I might add, your previous comment about me breathing the air in my diving suit too long is still bringing laughs around my house- it was a good and witty riposte if I ever saw one.

I can feel the weight going on if I had this every daya LOL
Like it, has a real sense of time and place for me with the tablecloth fitting the shot perfectly as well.

There is something very old world (German, Dutch, Finish?) about this one. I'm not certain the subject is so boring that you might overlook it though.

The light on this is perfect. Warm and inviting. Very nice work!
