Could have been better if you actually had a red laser line going over the UPC code.

Fun piece of trivia, like the way you created the image.

Your idea is fine, but the execution seems strange. The DOF works against you here, as does the strange gum composite. My personal opinion is that the Wrigley Chewing Gum part of your title should not be needed, but be obvious by the image. Right now I wouldn't know what the shot is about without that part of the title. 5

Very effective: a great close-up that maintains the subject. Love the black, white, green contrasts.

Interesting, needs just a little help to stand alone without a caption. Possibility something that looks like a red laser?

Very nice! Well researched and shot even better. I love the DOF on this one, considering that it's something we all recognize and love.
