Cute. Swedish fish and Gummy Worms... not sure of the others

Kyricom-just added the list to the SBS. Man am I full from all the "taste testing"! LOL.

Nice attempt to make a scenery out of the candy and cute use of the fish

Original thinking.

They look yummie!

Maybe you can burn the black background more in Photoshop (it's allowed), the wrinkles of the cloth annoy me personally. Also the composition might be more interesting if you crop the black areas left and and at the bottom out, something I would do.

Otherwise: I really like the light like it is coming out of the bowl (actually guess it is)

Good advice. And yes you are right..this is a glass liner sitting on a light source and another over head light to bring out highlights. The foil wrappers were a pain. I hope this is better. Thanks.

If I had been there it would have been a picture of an empty bowl

M&M's are one good thing that came out of WW II. They were developed so the chocolate wouldn't melt on the soldier's hands and get in their weapons.

I didn't know the story. I may not win this contest but I'm having a good time snacking on the subjects.

Can't go wrong with the color combinations of M&M's LOL

DOF is a bit to strong IMHO and the white cloth as underground isn't really attractive to me, maybe some metal structure like the inside of the can would have worked better.

But I do love the color reflections of the M&M's inside the can, on purpose or not: that's a nice detail

Changed out white drop cloth (not a good choice) and relaxed DOF. I tried to create more colored relfection without success. You advice however was right on. Thanks.

Looks yummy

I think that b&w does no justice in this photo.
I believe that a color version would be better but thats just me!
Good luck!!!

In B&W, they don't look very appetizing...
Also the barrel distortion on the left side makes the shelving verticals look distorted.
