Brand name in a stock photo isn't good. The shot is ok. I think the glares on the beans detracts from the shot. The variety of color is good.

Shows a specific brand name, so it couldn't be used as a stock photo unless it was advertising that brand. The colours are nice and vivid though.

A nice colorful macro but it is just another picture of a bunch of jelly beans. IMO the interest factor is a little on the low side here, it is a set up shot and remember you are in command, so let your imagination flow and try to do something that will make it stand out from like pictures. The washed out spots could be corrected by using indirect or diffused lighting. Try some tissue in front of your flash so the true color will come out. 6

Excellent image for a 'stock' photo. Excellent vibrant colours which fills the whole frame. I like that the jelly bellies are all over the place and haven't been deliberately 'set up'. Excellent idea and great composition. Well achieved. GL

great color, light, and clarity... might be better backed off a bit or at an angle so it looks like an endless field of beans.. a least worth taking a look at.

Nice colors. A dark black border seems like it would have really set it off.

It's a nice sweet shot, but stock agencies doesn't like brand names in the photographs. 6

What a nice and colorful photo. You've got good focus here and nice framing, too. However, I don't see this working as a stock photo for two reasons (a) the Jelly Bean name on the beans!!! This makes this unusuable for generic stock photography (b) the highlights on the beans, I think to see this as a stock photo, the lighting needs to be a little more even. These days, I always put my camera on a tripod, use a strong light source but hold a bed sheet inbetween the light and the source. That allows sufficient light to take a long(ish) exposure but avoids the blown out highlights.

A colourful image that wouldn't work as a stock photo, because of the logos.

Nice bright colors on this one. Lots of highlights on the beans, I don't like how they are sort of oblong. I would think a hightlight on something like this would be small and round. Nice shot

There just doesn't seem to be much that distinguishes this shot, as far as subject goes, and photographically, I think it's a bit too bright. Edges are also a bit fuzzy on a few of the jelly beans.
