 Reese Puffs cereal. I doubt it'll be wacky enough for the challenge, but I wanted to try my hand at a simple studio shot.

Verdict? I suck at it.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to comment on my entry. Many of you kind of gave me a bit of validation for my first real attempt at studio work, and that's always great :)

I also really like my title, for that one person that suggested I needed a new one. It's a social commentary on the state of our children today and what they are being fed to start their mornings (in many cases), and the title is there to reflect the band-aid method we use to control what we've caused. Feed them sugar, then dope them up when it starts to effect them.

Social commentary, however, generally isn't the best thing on DPC.. but when a person has and idea...

Anyway, thanks again everyone. 32nd place is definitely nothing to sniff at :)

I like this, very clean crisp shot, almost looks like an advertisement, although I don't know if I'd eat it!

Nice crisp shot. I like the contrast of the Orange Juice and Milk.

Well done, yet sad portrait of the condition of what parents are feeding their children. Nice shadows, clean lighting.

Why orange juice? Ehhh...maybe that is the wackiest part, come to think of it.

You need a different title.

Maybe a root-beer float instead of orange juice! Good composition.
