I have had some of you request that I continue the candy... I will shoot candy until I run out :)

Yum, right? hehe! I got a whole big container of these at our ARMY National Guard FRG Christmas Party. HAD to take a photo as they complimented my tree :)

_____________________________________

Lit with one spotlight aimed at the tree in the bg, one umbrella light to the left and really close to the subject, one umbrella light to the right and slightly higher than the table with the candy on it, and, of course, the Christmas tree lights :)

I think the Christmas tree lights and the mostly reflective red red decorations on the tree are what give it that pink glow back there. :)

Your candy and/or treat shots are excellent. Love how the light sparkles on the crystal bowl and the open wrapper which shows us the delicious treat inside. Colors are wonderful and eye-catching. Your lighting on this and composition of elements is excellent....I also love how your visual treats are tasty to look upon but have no calories;-) (Enjoy by looking not by eating:-) )

Lovely (yummy) shot. I love the combination of the foil and the cut glass to make a really sparkling image.

Beautiful and yummy! I love truffles! White, dark, milk, oh yeah! That's really pretty cut glass candy bowl. I used to collect them pre-kids and miss the sparkle they can add to a room.

Very nice - so bright and festive! Love the touch of the broken-open candy so we can see exactly what we are missing.

Beautifully done! Thank heaven it's not dark chocolate or I'd be tearing apart the kitchen trying to find some! Although this is as good an excuse as any ...

Excellent! How did you get the light to be so pinkish? It gives a wonderfully warm and homey feeling to the shot. And the twinkling bokeh makes this very festive.
