Um ... no. That is, it's an interesting picture, but it doesn't qualify even as eye candy to me. Anyway, the challenge description was pretty clear it's "sweet" candy.
It's a nice cat closeup, but going by the challenge guidelines of "satisfy your sweet tooth," I have chosen to give your image a lower score. If it were in a pet challenge, I would have scored it much higher. I really do like the eye and composition.
although this is a great shot, I'm not sure it meets the challenge. as I also said about someone elses entry: You can take ANY nice shot and call it eye candy, because it's nice to look at. but it still is a dnmc to me.
You see, this is exactly the problem. I like this picture, I really do. In another challenge, I would have given it a 7 or even an 8. But in the candy challenge where the description says "Satisfy your sweet tooth by photographing candy." this is just too much of a stretch. So DNMC -> 4.
