I set up these Popsicles in my kitchen, unfortunately I do not have the greatest lighting, so the background looked a little yellow. I changed the contrast setting a bit to try and help that.

Good colourful idea. Focus lets it down a little for me :/

Over-saturated?

Great colours, but just could do with being sharp across the full length of the lolly because it is quite blurred in the foreground. A smaller appature would have seen you right on that front. Bit of a orange colour cast as I can't remember holding a brightly coloured stick when I was a nipper

i'm thinking two contrasting colours for the popsicles (grape & orange?) might have made it stand out a little more and another background choice (like a shiny black marble surface). the white is just overpowering for me, though it may have been ok if the popsicles were different colours.

bit overproccessed imo, and I am not too fond of the yellow cast (that was last week's challenge)

This seems a little over-saturated, or something. The front edge looks straight more than melting so the puddle looks frozen which doesn't seen quite right with the melting ice-blocks. I love the idea though and it certainly reminds me of my childhood but for this challenge it might have said more if it were melting on concrete or a floor. That would say more about the emotion of a child dropping their ice block than a studio looking set up, for me anyway. I do like the lighting on it and the texture of the ice-blocks.

different take.

Nice color! I wish they were a tad sharper. The white edges are so bright they distract a bit. How about a lone drip of juice in the white space? That would give us another point of interest to ponder.
