M&M's spill it over

This is a fun image! It's making me hungry for candy. ;^) What are you using for a light source? It's just a bit harsh. Getting pretty defined reflections on the candy. Tried using some sort of diffuser? I keep a pad of large white paper (the kind you can put on an easel for mtg's, etc...) available. Tape it, or hold it in position to filter the lighting some. Don't laugh - it's cheaper than buying all the pro stuff. ;^)

Immense Reflections

Interesting...a bit busy perhaps (not your fault - just a lot to look at). The water arch's look like steel rods or something - that's cool.

What does it look like from the other end, facing the direction you were shooting from? Do they light this up at night? What's it look like facing up from the sidewalk?

A fun place to visit with a camera for sure. Nice capture.

IMO the photo is ok. I remember being overwhelmed the first time I saw it...it's very "busy". Some creative lighting may have given this a boost. For this to work we didn't need to see all of the details on every game cartridge. Just needed to know what they were. Maybe a low angled light that lit up the Mario game and some cartridges diagonally, then let the rest fall into shadows?

Where's the seagull to come rescue the crab?! ;^) Feels like a Nemo shot - could be from a movie scene. Great capture - way to be there at the right moment AND capture it successfully!

A little hot up top with the lighting. The green pear is blown out. Nice arrangement/composition. Did you try with a flat black bottom as well? Just asking because I wonder how it would look without the reflection... Ok, back to work for me now. ;^) Take care.

There you go! This is fun. What - practicing for some commercial shoots? ;^) Is this two images combined in PS or did you set it up this way to use the sky for bg? Either way - it's a great shot.

This is a fun photo. Trying to determine if you used a mirror or not? One thing I wish is that the DOF was a little longer - I want that first glass to be in focus. Cool...keep smiling!

It's an optical illusion! ;^) I think he's right...

I like this one better. Agree on the stem...needs to go. I would also bump the contrast a few notches on the entire image here. Another consideration is to push the shadows a bit darker and bring up the highlights (maybe midtones instead). Great idea with the composition!

Have fun and keep smiling!
