The purple haze is off putting.

Comment by HBunch:
The color of this looks odd probably because it's being shot through the gumball machine's glass. I love this idea. It definately depicts childhood very well. I like how you got most f the word gumball in the photo too. Nice touch. There is a glare on the left side and in the top right. Hard to avoid when shooting through glass/plastic though. You did a nice job. Good luck in the challenge.

this was a great idea... but I don't like how it came out. I would have liked to have seen all of the word gumballs, cutting off the g in the beginning is fine but at least include the 2 L's and at least part of the S so I can make it out. Then the most important thing would be to get a polarizer lens. It'll increase color saturation and do away with all that glare.

So, why didn't I think of that? Good job with the subject. Composition with the words at an angle and soft light.

A polarizing filter would have been good here. Nice color. 7 Swash

This has a lot of potential. Do you happen to have a camera that can use a polarizer? It can help a lot with reflections. Also, the colors might need adjusted some. The whites look grey. I like the composition and idea if you can work out the technical issues.
