Well, this challenge is the first one that I'm submitting for and what do I get?? 'Brown'!! WOW.

Well, I got this idea from my wife - Hershey's kisses in a pattern on top of orange tissue paper. Lit from underneath.

Adjustment were crop and levels, which I hope are OK for 'Basic Editing'!!

Now, the problem is, what to do with all these chocolates??? hmmmmmm!!

Cheers

I like the arrangement of the kisses. The fabric/color distracts. Maybe try lighting from above as well.

nice idea. lower your f stop to increase depth of field and sharpness. would have liked to see more visual separation in the kisses, so one is not directly behind the other in the shot.

I find the out of focus kiss on the left to be distracing - it could have been left out.
12/23/2006 12:32:07 PM
There doesn't seem to be a focus point.

Very creative shot! Made me stop and look. I would have preferred a better depth-of-field though.

Like the idea of the lighting from the bottom. Don't like the unsharp chocolates in front though.

Would be better if focus was on one of the two whole cocolates towards the the front I think.

I like the idea, but not the focus. Also the brown isn't very brown on my monitor -- sort of black with magenta highlights.

The lack of focus in the front is extremely distracting.
12/20/2006 02:59:06 PM
Focus is off or something - kisses are very fuzzy
12/20/2006 12:47:51 PM
the bottom half is way too blurry for my taste

they look black on my monitor ...

After voting in this challenge, I may have to go and get me some chocolate! Dang it. I was doing so well too. *grin*

I don't think there's a way to fix this one. It's a neat effect, but there's no focus on the kisses. Good luck.
12/20/2006 02:35:14 AM
What is supposed to be in focus here? I think you went just a little overboard with the depth-of-field.

The kisses seem really dark and they actually look black rather than brown.
