Hmmmmmm. The best candies ARE square! Had to "start" them to bring out the gloss, put my desk lamp at the right location and snapped about 30 shots to end up with one shot with decent focus.

HELLO! I like this subject. YUM. I like that you put the 4 together and took it from an angle. Need more practice with the studio set up tho (don't we all) just to perfect a few things. The lighting could be a little better. These are pretty reflective subjects so I'm not sure if you can eliminate those hot glare spots or not, but I'd try. It might help to have more light, but make sure that it's all diffused with something like some hanging cloth. The bg looks kind of dingy grey instead of white. A clear white would be nice (really make the colors pop), but I think another color would also work. Sometimes colored backgrounds are easier than getting a true white.
I like the arrangement, but you could also try framing it as a square if you took it at an angle that created a straighter diamond. Focus is good. People obviously liked this subject. Good score. I thought this was a tough topic, but you came up with a creative way to do it. Nice work.

Nice shot but I feel that a bright white background would have really made them stand out.

Great Colors!!! Love the candy

Excellent idea. Totally meets the challenge. Two things: I'd like to see the background pure white, I don't quite like the yellowish tint of the back ground used. Second, and this might tought to correct, try to reduce the glare on the bottom corners; a bit distracting. However, having said that, I really like the simplicity of your photograph. Good luck.

This is a good image. I like your idea of using jolly ranchers, it's creative and makes for a good picture. The clearity that you achieved is excellent. Nice.

I really like the use of color and light. I think that the glare on the candy helps bring the attention to it. Nice work

Mmm tasty squares. Could have done with a white background to bring out the colours more, and an off center composition would have been nice.

Nice subject (jolly ranchers?) I think I would prefer a cleaner white background, and if you could have gotten two colors a bit dissimilar from the red/orange, like purple instead of orange would have been super!
