Description

This is a still life photograph against a solid purple background. The composition is vertically oriented and features a cocktail in a clear glass with a brown drink, topped with two rectangular dark chocolate pieces. A silver fork is stuck into the top chocolate piece, which also has red rose petals and a tea strainer with yellow strands. The chocolate is garnished with a green lime peel. Green leaves also accent the upper and lower parts of the chocolate pieces. The cocktail glass sits in the bottom half of the image, with the top half featuring the rose petals, chocolate, fork, and leaves. Lighting appears to be artificial, with soft shadows, and highlights that define the edges of the glass.
