huh. Can't say I like this one. Too much sun creating a virtual washout of the candy. I find it hard to look at, with the sun so prominent in the picture. Adjust the exposure, or the angle of the image... This is a tough one to critique. One interesting optical "illusion" here is if you scroll down, until only the candy is showing, it is much clearer than with the entire picture in place. I did look at the rest of your portfolio, and am very impressed, so I think this just seems rushed.

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.

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.
