Critique Club:
Meets the Challenge: Excellent
Composition: Very good use of empty space, the hand with the candy towards the bottom gives a good feel to the photo, as if it has a little bit of weight and strength at the bottom where it is needed, without detracting from the airiness (is this really a word?!) of the shot. I really don't mind the wrinkled sheet, as the candy is so flat, it adds a little bit of tonal contrast to the photo and I like that, despite the comments below.
Technical Quality: To me, (one person's opinion only), it needed to be a bit more abstract to be that. It looks grainy and oversaturated and overexposed and a bit out of focus for a realistic shot and not enough to be abstract. Since abstracts generally don't do too well in competion, you can work with this some more to make improvements that will make a great sellable print, since you can do some spot editing on parts and make it as surreal as you want!
Creativity: Excellent. And the added post-processing adds to the creativity of the shot.
Overall: A nice photo, I would have probably given it a 5 as it is, with a little more or less post-processing my score would have gone up.
Hope this helps, if you have questions or comments feel free to email or pmail me. Kandice |

| A bit overexposed, and many of the candies are a tad grainy, but this is a fun, lively shot with happy colors and captured movement, so it works for me very well. |

This is a really great idea! It's too bright, the hand is almost washed out and has some grain (look at the thumb-nail). Most of the candy's motion stopped, this is both good and bad - shows motion (good), some look blurred our almost "added" (not accusing you of cheating in any way). More candy might have been good.

| This photo has a strange surrealism about it. Its very high key and everything is a little blurry. It really has the illusion of being a painting though, and a good one at that. |

| interesting piece. background should be a little less wrinkled, candy a little more in focus, but hand looks great. |

| Great shot. I like the angle and cropping. Very creative. Might be a little to much contrast. Good choice of colors & saturation. Good job. 7. |

| Nice vertical picture - I think it would be a bit better if it were a bit clearer, and the colours adjusted somewhat. |
