This is about the 10th time I've tried this and can't do it again because I ate the darn candy. The colors are desaturated. They got out of control. The border is because the background is really white. I was going for "unanticipated".

wow, so many meanings, so many colours, one great photo! I love the natural colours the m&m's give you, nicely laid out, maybe a bit less yellow though...

This could only mean that someone fell asleep or slipped a lifesaver. I'd be surprised for sure if I found this in the M & M's. Nice shot. Sharp and good use of light.

Effective one, I like this very much. The composition and colours work well together. Maybe the m&ms candies are a little bit out of focus for my personal taste, or lighting is a bit harsch on them. Which one did you choose at last? :-)

I love this one. The clarity, the sharpness, the shock of finding a lifesaver in my M&m's, that would be a surprise for sure! A 10

A good idea, but the lighting is too hard, and there is a white reflection on the wrapper

Well done. Nice DOF and color saturation. The overall balance of the shot both with the subject and the light makes this work well for me one of my top choices this time out 8
