Very cool! How did oyu manage to get everything, even the reflective glass so black and yet the candy so brightly backlit? Some details about how this one was done would be interesting. One of my favs. :-)

Nice and sharp. The middle rocks are slightly washed out above the reflective surface.

the lighting choice to is very creative and the shapes interestig wit the reflections but somehow it still lacks something - maybe too dark at the top of the image and too bright in the middle

What type of candy is this? I've never seen anything like it before! Nice colours and reflections but I feel the composition could have used some work :o)
