Comment by ineedauniquename:
I sometimes feel like throwing in the towel with DPC, for two reasons. Principally there is such good photography on this site that I just don't feel I'll ever make it and secondly when photo's like this get utterly dished. I think it is an expertly executed piece of pop art and an imaginative use of photography .... if people only want to see images of the real world as it is then what is television for ?

Not very sharp and the light seems a little too harsh. Nice red though.

I like it.
You're right, it's far from the worst.
I didn't vote but would have given you at least a 5 or 6.

Feedback, per your request.

As pop-art, this is kind of cool looking and works as art. As a photograph, it is just so overprocessed that it is no longer a photograph and the voters punished you for that. As far as visual appeal, it is far from the worst in the challenge. It might have done decently in an abstract challenge. Despite the scale reading BAD<---->GOOD, there is far more that goes into many people's votes.

Well, i didn't vote this challenge nicoleangel, but i usually give low votes to shots that are too post processed, because i think it loses so much of the real beauty and "truth" of the object colors, shape and other stuff. About your shot, i like the colors and the idea of the ammount of circle candies. But i think you changed your object too much with the PP, so much that i'm not sure if the MM's are in focus and i can't even see the M's on some of them.
I think you had a good idea, not outstanding, but nice. I would try just the MM's, a little saturated and a liiiitlle changed by levels, using macro and creating a nice DOF, with each one in a different focal plane.
Hope you don't take my comment bad, i'm not very experient but i always try to help! Good luck at the next challenges!
