Greetings from the Critique Club!
I concur with all of the compliments below!
This is a happy image that is all delightfully jumbled and filled with a wonderful "pattern" (we'll call it). This close up point of view really works to celebrate these candies, their shapes and their colors. Perhaps some day we'll be able to communiate flavor through photography as well! This arrangement of candies works really well. It looks random, and may be, but you've composed and cropped so that there are interesting and different colors right where they need to be. The yellow candy, especially, is well placed and an interesting point on which to focus. You make the candies look enticing, and it looks like it will be fun eating them. The DOF is excellent, too, with the out of focus candies just at the edges of your frame.
To improve the shot, the first thing I would explore would be to diffuse the light. I actually like the little glares of light, making the candies shiny and lovely, but they are just a bit too "glaring(?)" and harsh. Your border might also be a bit much as it does attract attention to itself rather than simply setting the image apart from the gray screen.
In sum: a happy, well done shot! I want to eat one now! Good luck in the future, and I look forward to seeing more of your excellent work in the future.

| Very colorful, sharp photo. I like your idea. The glare spots are a tad harsh, but not as harsh as many have had. 8 Rob the Swash |

| Hm... Great picture. I wish the ones that were imperfect were off to the sides or underneath, too. It looks like there are FOUR ugly ducks here - orange, dark blue, blue/green and green/blue. Great shot though. |
