Excellent technical proficiency in capturing both texture and reflection is shown in this hyper-realistic picture of a chocolate-covered strawberry The artist has created amazing detail in depicting the glossy chocolate covering, including minute surface variances that imply ideal tempering of actual chocolate. Especially remarkable is the reflection of the strawberry in the surface of the chocolate, which exhibits a sophisticated awareness of light behaviour and reflecting qualities. Where the chocolate hasn't completely covered the strawberry, its natural texture peeks through to provide a mouth-watering contrast between the smooth chocolate and the fruit's seeded surface. The minute details also include the shadows and highlights that give the image its three-dimensional aspect, therefore giving it the impression that you could reach out and grab this delicious treat from the page. From the rich, dark tones of the chocolate to the vivid red of the visible strawberry sections, the colour palette is expertly rendered.
