John,

Thanks for your comments :). You're right, the new camera is on its way as I type. The problem with the old one was a bad exposure meter (can't ya tell LOL).

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Shari...

I love PEZ :) This photo does bring back a memory of a unique flavor in my childhood... I had a box full of the dispensers and I sort of 'collected' them at one point. The family Friday night dinner at the local fish camp was a treat for me because this is where I found a vending machine that sold the dispensers and candy.

Your composition on this photo is quite colorful and well organized. This composition is definitely worthy of an 'advertisement' photograph. The exposure on this seems a little hot, but I believe you mentioned that you are getting a new camera :) Some of the color saturation is lost due to that problem.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing the results of your new cam :)

Lighting/colors look a little odd to me -- flash used perhaps? I'm a little surpirsed to see the PEZ but no dispenser.

Funny title. Lots of color! Focus is very strong, but the whole thing seems to have a "soft focus" haze to it. It looks a bit jumbled/haphazard. Lighting seems a little strong (glare on the glazed pieces). All these critizisms are pretty minor. Score stays at 8. Rob the Swash

blurry and some strange haze as if the light is shining into the cam

Great shot, but maybe a little more contrast to give it depth.

Looks a little overexposed. Nice and colourful, though.

Appears a bit flat. Could use some adjustments to contrast to bring out the colors more. Otherwise, would be a very nice candy photo.
