 Our old-fashioned local candy shoppe, where they make their own homemade candies and chocolates...this is the kid section of the store. Always reminds me of the old days when I was a child. Love this store.

What a great place!! You live in a very cool part of the country, apparently. I suspect you used a flash here, yes? It's probably not light enough to shoot inside without a tripod. If you did use flash, and you do have a tripod, you need to go back and try this again if they'll let you. I realize tripods are a pain in the butt. I rarely carry one but have had times I wished I did. I hear good things about monopods, which are much easier to carry and use, but haven't tried one yet. Anyway, there's a lovely richness to the wood and the colors of the candy everywhere, and I suspect there are a whole lot of shots here still to be taken.

The candy seems out of focus.
