Crime Scene

Hello ikat -- you asked how I thought of the "crime scene" image. It was sort of a domino effect... unfortunately, I have only a small bit of time I can dedicate to DPC because my job is too demanding. So, I had a bag of m&ms on my desk at work, and I was shooting.

A guy who is a real jerk came by and made a rude comment about "playing" on work time. For the record, I was at lunch. :) Anyway, a few passive agressive gestures at his departing back, and I angrily grabbed one of the subjects and chomped down on it. This triggered the thought of how our civilized psyche copes with stresses that, if we were totally primal, would be expressed in violence. The photo is essentially a visualization of the act of transferrence, with chocolate as the actors in the play. Yeah, too many psychology courses in college...

Thanks to everyone that voted, and a special thanks to those that added the photo to their favorites: that's a real compliment! This has been my personal best so far! Whoo hoo!

Reverse the importance: you're selling the prop, not the product.

Beautiful setting, beautiful setup, but no client would pay for a shot that doesn't feature their whole product.

Helloooo top 10. I might have shot it on a darker neutral gray background so you could get a better exposure, and the contrast would have made the subject more prominent.
