Voted earlier coming back to comment.

I've heard about peppermint flavor toothpaste but this takes it to extreme:-) Definitely not the proper way to brush one's teeth but this is definitely a way to satisfy your sweet tooth and brush at the same time:-) Some of the highlights are blown such that I can barely see the outline of the candy cane in the white areas and the toothpaste tube. Perhaps having the light shine from behind as well as the front so that it would 'halo' around and outline the main elements better. That or see about closing down the aperture during exposure to let in a little less light to prevent blowing the whites/highlights.

I think kids would brush their teeth more often if this were the case...nice idea.

Mmm ... extra minty! I like how the white on white still delivers a clear picture.

There is something really special to that picture. The lighting and the way you cropped it makes it pleasant to look at. B&W is definitely a plus. 10

Cool! I'm a sucker for negative space images that work.

This is an amazing photo. I would love to give it a 9. Unfortunately the noise and pixelation in the sky really distract me. Even so 7.
