Your light source seems to be quite harsh, and could be toned down quite a bit. All of those specks distract from the main subject. If they are lint or dust cleanliness can't be stressed enough. If your baclground is farther back from the subject some of the spots will go away. Experiment with less light and longer exposures. 4

Very orginal in this challenge. This has a wonderful feeling of the cold artic blast that comes with a York Peppermint Pattie, according to the commerical. =o)

Seriously your dof used here is very shallow and works very well for this photo. Your lighting is really good, you have very limited shadowing. There is a wonderful texture here were you can see the fibers and also the grains of sugar.

I'm guessing you broke off the missing piece of the peppermint pattie cause it is so smooth and might have made more of a statement had it been bitten off with teethmarks visable rather than broken off.

It really is a cool photo and looks really good. Well done!

I like this - very traditional, and amusing. I'd swear I see fibers from something like cotton, though - not sure if I'm imagining that or not, however.

Best illustration of subject so far... In focus and a really "cool" picture.
