Cute shot. I like it better w/o the sky/top of the fence. Focus seems a tad off on the boy (more sharp on the chair back). Contrast is a little low, too. 7 Rob the Swash

Jelly Bean Salad

Comment:
Interesting idea, did the "kids" "buy it"? The lettuce seems a little too bright, hard to see it's details (more contrast). Focus is good. Color seems really nice. Glare is the worst on the left lower lettuce leaf, but not bad on the candies. 7 Rob the Swash

Japanese Rice Crackers

Yin/Yang - nice angle of attach for the photo/heavily limits the focal frame. I like the middle section, very appealing - but since all this "stuff" comes from the same box - I get the feeling you're trying to "hide" something with this focus limitation. Color is great! Unique view of the challenge topic. 7 Rob the Swash

Ad Nauseam

Very clear shot. Is an alki-selzer needed here? Not fully fond of the background, it isn't a very strong contrast, plus it looks like candy was dragged across it? I like the silver bowl, was it being tipped to further demonstrate the gluttony here?

Streetlight, Man & Gumballs
by Gotchya

Comment:
The gumball machine is colorful and in good focus. The reflection doesn't seem to add to the shot (you're wearing a read jacket, right?) The candy colors also reflect back into the glass, creating ghost images (not good). 7 Rob the Swash

Fruit Pastilles

Comment:
The green candy is very sharp. Good color. The angle makes adds interest, but less great as an "ad" copy (companies want their product name easily read). The backgrond looks like a paper towel (eh, not really great) and in the upper right corner is way blown. 7 Rob the Swash

Lolly Stop

Comment:
Very sharp photo. Interesting lighting, but a little bright for the plastic. I didn't notice the title (I thought it said Lolly Pop the first viewing), I like the reference, but it might have worked a little better w/o the wrapping. 7 Rob the Swash

Really neat idea! The yellow candies are very bright (so much so that it's a bit hard to find their edges, a tad darker might have helped). My eyes keep being drawn to the little red guy (nice job!). 7 Rob the Swash

"A Simpler Time..."

Nice set up, extremely good focus. I sort of question the black and white, but the title explains that pretty well (color just appeals to me more strongly). Constrast levels seem pretty good. Cropping - can't argue with that either. I'm going to raise your score from 7 to 8. It's too well done for a 7 and my bias shouldn't hurt your overall score. Rob the Swash

Pixy Stix

Comment:
Well done photo, has a sort of "ad" feel. The white background doesn't contrast well with the light colored candy and half white stix, maybe black would have been better. Good focus, well set up. 7 Rob the Swash
