When voting on this image, I thought that it was quite nice but did not live up to its full potential.

Nice:
Colors here are very lovely, and they're arranged with obvious care. The background is very, very nice as it 1) fails to distract and 2) offsets the candy colors nicely. Reading your comments is interesting because it's neat to hear what you had to do to get the background like that.

Not lived up to potential:
I really felt that if you had used less colors it would have been a stronger image. Red orange yellow green light blue dark blue purple. That way it would have said "rainbow" in a stronger fashion to me. Fewer candies would also have let you get closer so we could better see the nice texture.

Nice glow from the lighting. Does not seem as detailed as I am trying to see in it. It's probably just the scaling down to 640 pixels lost a lot.

I wonder how it would look like, if you cropped it in such a way, tht the viewer will see only the rainbow made of crystals :) I like the lighting and colours. Excellent idea.

Dave,

This whole series is jaw-dropping gorgeous. These should be framed and for sale at local restaurants, etc.
