Try lightening it a little and warm up, eg. increase reds, at present it does not look like something I would like to eat.
I did try to make amends, friiski, but, well...
Yummy black chocolate! My favorite!!!! Now it looks much better author with cutting the edges you gave it a unique taste too! 
That is looking better, but still a little too green, if you go to My profile, and look at my albums, I have uploaded some screen shots on how to improve the colour cast using curves.
The photos are in the wrong order, but numbered 1.2.3
good luck
I do agree with Friiskiwi suggestion to remove the colour cast. At the moment, it's a bit greenish. When the colour cast have been removed, the idea of showing inner side of the chocolate would be a great concept
Thank you, JoeCacia and riady. I'll give it a try, and let us hope it won't tilt toward... reddish
You are certainly working hard on this one, got rid of the green but too much magenta, try a Hue/Saturation layer and reduce the Magenta.

Nice story telling photo with some room for improvement tho.
.
The b/g (background) should be a better choice (something that looks like a road or an alley since they are the "mafia"
Lighting should be more "mysterious" IMHO & a wider frame so the sharpener on the top is included.
With a little more attention to some small details next time you will surely do better.
All the best author!!!
Thank you very much for your honest & useful comment.
I had actually thought about the use of a road as well and a more Sin City-like look, but this is all I was able to end up with at the late hour I took the shot. ^^
This being my first entry I sure hope there will be a lot more and improved pictures.
Disclaimer: pencils WERE harmed in the making of this photo! Wow, great image!
Thanks a lot. Actually it all went pretty fast, the pencil did not feel a thing.
what did you use for the blood - looks very realistic - good shot
Thank you for your comment.
I used a mixture of movie blood by Kryolan (professional make up company from Germany), strawberry jam and pieces of the sharpened pencil.
What do you mean when you say, you took 3 different photos?
I fastened the camera upon a self build heightening so it wouldn't move a bit.
Then I took a three pictures on three different levels of exposure to gain a greater dynamic range.
Like the texture
Thank you!
Does this violate the site's rules on graphite, er... graphic violence?
Better be careful or P.E.T.A. will get after you (Pencils Escaping Terrible Actions)
