This is really sophisticated. I could see this as a Valentine card (you should consider trying to sell it to a greeting card company, actually, but first clone out the shadow). I didn't vote in this challenge but this would very likely have been my top pick. Once again, I find myself humbled by a young'un. ;D
This is a great idea, and executed very well. I think it may have been stronger if it wasn't quite so centered. . but I really love the idea and the way it looks. Good job.
I like this idea. I would try levels or curves to see if I could get the background completely white. It might bring out more details of the candy wrapper, too. (Or maybe not, I'm not that experienced yet!) I also think having the candy off center would add more interest.
Very nicely done. I think this one really benefits from the white space. However, I think there might just be a little too much white space. There appears to be some vignetting on the corners, so I wonder if a slightly tighter crop would have helped. All in all, this is a really good shot. +7
I think that this would have been a stronger presentation if you hadn't blown out the edges of the paper. On my monitor the text almost appears to be written on the background; only the shadow remains to indicate otherwise. The exposure meter in your camera will assume that on a properly exposed image, averaging the brightness of the entire frame will produce a uniform grey image; usually this heuristic works, but it is dead wrong when shooting a small object against a white background. With a shot like this you'll need to adjust your exposure to compensate for your camera's assumptions.
Generally not a bad image and a marvelous concept.
You might consider two changes:
1-Try a smaller crop or apply different post processing to remove the distracting vignetting and/or color casting from showing up on the corners. 2-Position the candy centered at either the upper or lower left "rule of thirds" intersection point for increased viewer esthetics.
