I would like to see the glass lit from below to highlight it a little more...maybe show more of the glass as well...

Pretty neat. You should have blasted the bottom of the candy with light to really light it up. You'd need 1000W lights probably.

Superb composition - I just wish the candy was a bit more important in the picture...looks like it's floating, though. Excellent work.

Hey this could've worked for both challenges! I guess you figured that already.

nice idea. i think the candy should have been focused on and should be brighter, because the sun takes precedence over the picture. i like the sunspot in the glass. too bad the cloud wasn't a little more centered.

Hey, you can move a jellybean, retake the picture and use it in the candy contest! Nice colors.

I really like the feel this photo gives - sort of relaxing. Makes it feel like a Sunday afternoon. Great composition and color!

a contrasting white (or purple..or other color in the image) thin border on the black one would visually reduce the wide black expanse of the existing border..
Okay.. now for voting...
the subject is wonderful. great depth in and around the jelly beans. the focus is a bit off, but I like the lighting.. although a bit harsh, it gives me a sense they are fresh, so imo it works here.

Nice color - I'm happy with the crop and lighting. Not sure why this shot doesn't "do it" for me, because I can't nail it down. I like the subject, it's well-shot...not sure.
