CC Hello Gracious

Fits The Challenge-Yes.
Composition-Good, great timing, good capture.
Background-Weakest part of the shot.
My Opinion-I understand about the tent. Hard shot to get but you did well. The colors are fantastic....reminds me of a Kodak commercial. Vivid and intense. The booger at the top on the tent is a distraction but again with manipulation that can be removed....the whole background could be changed!! It was a good find and a pleasing shot.

Excellent! Those water drops are so in focus and crispy sharp, awesome! And you got some refraction in them as well, plus the very shallow DOF is making them even sharper still. Congratulations on an amazing shot!

Good idea. Could've been shot just a little better though. Seems a little muddy in terms of clarity.

Great idea, but needs more DOF - the candy and leg look out of focus.

It looks like you focused on the jar - while interesting, perhaps focusing on the leg and candies would be better, since that's where our attention is going. Excellent shot anyways. Cutout?

This was taken under a very bright, white tent. The unidentified object in the upper right is some metal hardware that helped keep the tent up. I couldn't avoid it.
The demonstrative bird has a white face, thus it blended, or rather disappeared into the white bg. If I had waited for the bird to move his face I wouldn't have gotten this shot of his wings extended. I grabbed it!!!
