Greetings from the Critique Club!
I concur with all of the compliments below--and there are many!
I feel a bit foolish critiquing this, but here goes! In this photo, the first thing that comes to mind is the happiness that sugar can bring. The twirling lines of the candy on the mountain of sugar bring with it some very fun colors, and the white background, created very effectively and creatively by sugar, add a lightness and joviality to this communication. The composition implies that there is sugar endlessly ready to deliver further messages of warmth and fun. It's as if this candy were indeed a living entity spontaneously created out of primordial ooze--except the ooze is sugar in this case. I'm just sure that only a little way in the future, I'll find more such candies, and perhaps different varieties. Your great cropping enhances this feeling. I like your understated comment "this is a candy on some sugar." It is, but as really good photos do, it suggests much more.
To improve the shot, as I mentioned below, you might try to subdue that harsh light on the upper right of the candy. On the one hand, that glimmer reminds us that this candy is shiny, fresh and magical, so is you do fiddle with that at all, I hope you are able to retain the good qualities that it gives.
This is just a fun, happy image that is simply and skillfully communicated through a lot of implied drama. Well done!
I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
Thanks,
David

| i gave you a '10' - congrats for the great placement. my one comment would have been about the shadow on the upper right part of the candy, but the sharpness of the suger and candy, the depth of focus, and the beautiful simplicity of the shot are all fantastic. great job! |

| Nicely done! The only problems is the candy looks like its already been sucked on. I nice smooth one would have been perfect. |

| This was a creative idea, nice originality! Well titled, really fits the challenge well. Nicely done! (One 'picky' critique I have.... The candy appears to be tilted forward... I would positioned it more 'straight up') - Won't hurt your score though!. |

| I like this image a lot. Fun colors and creative use of background and foreground. The harsh spot of light is only slightly distracting. A quality image here. |

| Extremely good focus, nice job! A touch of glare, but not to the point of large distraction. Color seems very good. This is good enough for a score upgrade from 8 to 9. Rob the Swash |

| Nice focus, good lighting and clever idea. Makes it look like the candy is sitting in a snow bank. |
