Not sure, but I sure do love the gold color. I don't think it's chocolate, but maybe gold keys? #5764467

Jennifer L. Alder April 09, 2008 0

Great perspective and light! Look like keys to me... :) #5767502

Eivor Kuchta April 09, 2008 0

Looks like gold metal (though we had hoped for chocolate). Maybe a part of a music instrument? #5767569

Joseph N. DiGilio April 09, 2008 0

This is fun. I like guessing games. I think they are brass keys. If they were fine Dutch chocolate they would have been eaten before you had a chance to photograph them. #5767667

Wanda Judd April 10, 2008 0

It really does look like fine chocolates..but knowing how clever you are, it's probably your flatware or your golden dinner plates...

I, too hope you are feeling better.. #5767793

Patricia Ronan April 10, 2008 0

Lovely light and gold colour Patrick, not at all sure what it is:) #5767810

Martie Last April 10, 2008 0

I'm guessing a stack of keys. It was fun to guess. #5767813

Judy A. Lawhon April 10, 2008 0

Looks like keys to me also...but regardless, its very well done, Patrick!! #5767920

Ken Smith April 10, 2008 0

It's too bad they weren't one ounce gold coins...then you'd have an even better camera! Love the colors!! #5768055

Reynaldo D. Reyes April 10, 2008 0

I love these whazzit games... Let's see, How about a stack of golden pancakes???...LOL! This is a nice image though with beautiful lighting. #5768142

Janet Daniel April 10, 2008 0

Goldilocks? LOL This is just terrific, Patrick! #5768284

Nancy (Peaches) Harker April 10, 2008 0

Well, from the thumbnail I thoght it was french toast and syrup LMAO
Then I enlarged it and saw writing, so I am guessing keys.
Fantastic tones and lighting Patrick!!! #5768490

Teresa Burnett April 10, 2008 0

My guess is keys. Love the pretty shiny gold!! Too bad it isn't the real thing!! #5768716

frank w. degenhardt April 10, 2008 0

Patrick- Hello there and a good day to you my friend. I got to agree with the majority on this, that its keys. I can see some lettering ( at least I think its lettering) on the bottom key,but can't make it out.
Bright, gold keys. Lighting, clarity, colors, details, textures all done sensationally.
Have yourself a most wonderful day, take care, be safe. #5768808

Bill Wyatt April 10, 2008 0

Terrific light and colors wonderful close up work!! #5769392

#5771323

Mike Clime April 10, 2008 0

Nice capture, Patrick! Unless you are very wealthy, this must be chocolate. #5771840

Sam Britt April 10, 2008 0

At first glance I thought it was exquisite chocolate wrapped in gold foil, but looking closer I think it's a stack or gold keys. It's a great photo, whatever it is! #5772264

Patrick Rouzes April 11, 2008 0

They are Keys, everyone!!! Thank you all for playing along!!! Thanks also for the compliments!!! #5772416

Steve J. Schoolcraft April 11, 2008 0

Nice one Patrick and no, I couldn't guess right without a hint. #5772466

Sue Marshall April 11, 2008 0

Yes, keys that is what I was going to say Patrick!!! LOL J/K I am horrible at guessing games!!
Love the gold tones and lighting!! :-) #5772478

Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna April 11, 2008 0

BUT BUT BUT!!!!!!! I didn't get to play!!!! It's all the doctors fault because he wouldn't let me play on my puter and because of that I missed ALL the fun you had with this awesome image of the KEYS!!!!! That was my very FIRST thought too!!!!! Thanks a HUGE BUNCH for the thought and giving it to me!!!!! Are they the keys to your safety deposit box at Fort Knox KY? And they are now mine????? hehehehe Ma #5775643

David Pratt April 12, 2008 0

Well done Patrick. You must have robbed a bank to get all this gold. Glad to see your feeling better. #5776746

Jim Baines April 12, 2008 0

Exceptionally well done, Patrick! Nice guessing game too! I got in a little late so was able to cheat! #5776865

JO ANN CLEVELAND April 12, 2008 0

Keys?? It also looks like wrapped chocolate!

Ohhh, I just read your comment above, it IS keys!

Now that's kool my friend, love it!

jo ann c #5778255

Sandra R. Alvey April 13, 2008 0

Well my first thought was "GOLD INGOTS"!!! WOOHOO! My big bro is loaded! Then I realized that they were keys. LOL! Oh well, there goes my alternate retirment plan. :D

Gorgeous work Patrick! #5782745

Gary Lange April 17, 2008 0

Patrick, I think they're stacked keyes. It certainly reminds me of some great French Toast with syrup, what with the effects and lighting. Outstanding!! #5800393

Laura E. Swan April 27, 2008 0

I'm with Kitty. I wanted to play!!! Pfffttt! ;) Lol to Sandi as well. TOO FUNNY!

When we were growing up our Mom always made us laugh. No matter what sized gift we'd give her (ring sized box or jumbo) she'd always guess, "A PAIR OF SLIPPERS?".

So even thought I think they are the KEYS to the GOLDEN CITY, I will say SLIPPERS! Ha! -Laura #5846370
