Licorice L'Amore
by dsidwell

Comment:
Sweet, romantic idea! Contrast with the background seems a little weak, esp. for the woman. The "pile" of licorice seems over-saturated (less than clear as the rest of the image). 8 Rob the Swash

Pick Your Color
by GolferDDS

Comment:
Neat idea! Looks like a lot of work went into this. The photo seems sharp enough, but something's wrong (too saturated? a little grainy? Too bright? Pastelized?{I think I just made up that word - has the feel of being made more pastel} I'm just not sure). I do like how the patter seems to "die off" in the front. Sorry, but this clarity issue keeps bothering me, score downgrade from 8 to 7. Rob the Swash

Neat shot, very well laid out. I like the partly unwrapped coin, nice touch. I could wish the chocolate had just a little more light on it. Focus seems very good.

Chewy Swirls

Neat patterns, very well laid out. Focus seems perfect. Color is very nice. Cropping - (nit time) I would have preferred the two corner oranges to not be "nicked" (very minor). Lighting seems very good. Score upgrade from 8 to 9. Rob the Swash

Cool effect (I hope you left a good description). Very well laid out (still this trick seems too good to be legal - that's a compliment). Score raised from 8 to 9. Rob the Swash

Where's the Alka Selzer

Cute shot! (probably very bad for this old dog) Good focus. A touch of glare on the middle wrapper. A little tighly cropped on the dog's head. (all pretty minor problems) 8 Rob the Swash

Snow ala Jelly Bellies

Comment:
Wildly different idea (very creative). Did the blue one bleed color? Upper left corner seems viginetted (probably just in the dark). I just noticed, all the snow has a bit of blue hue to it. 8 Rob the Swash

Simply Sinful

Looks like a candy ad! Nice use of rule of thirds. Well set up (almond flag!). I see why you used direct lighting (face on), for the good, well aligned reflection, but it does leave some of this little candy "in the dark", no ideas how one might improve that. 8 Rob the Swash

Very clear shot, color is very nice. (She kinda looks like she's going to kiss the bar?) The hand is a tad over exposed, looks like the camera's flash (I rarely use it). 8 Rob the Swash

Really neat shot! It's a pretty long stretch for the challenge (maybe too creative of an idea for this challenge). On the other hand, I like bee shots and this is a pretty good one. I scored you down a bit for the challenge aspect, but this morning...I'm feeling more generous. Score raised from 7 to 8. Rob the Swash
