Nice contrasting colors and use of dof to catch the flower detail and blur out the green. The lighting is a little hard for my taste, though.

Comment by RiderGal:
The lighting here is kind of akward, you have the very lit subject... and then the darker subject... I don't care for that. I think it might have been better if you had a different DOF, maybe gotten down and focused on the well lit subject with the dark ones sort of out of focus in the background? Just an idea... good focus though... glad you used three. I don't think there was a need for a border here... and especially not a purple one, but I'm not big on borders.

The candy is too dark. Either over expose more or a fill flash would help.

I like the negative space concept. For me, there is not nearly enough light on the candy - it's so dark that it's barely noticeable. Not crazy about the border- not enough contrast in color, and I don't like the light blue line on just the top and the left side.

It will have a better impact if the the bottom of the glass can be given a little more light to bring out the colours of those candies...

Cool idea! Very different/creative. To me, it seems like there's too much negative space between the candy and the sun. I am impressed with the nearly complete lack of solar flares (I find only one, my lens creates several if I get even close to the sun) I'd also like the candy bowl just a little larger in the frame. 7 Rob the Swash

nice but too much glare in the lens washing out the candy bowl.
