Technically jelly baby photos are a little bit of a cliche, but hopefully you'll all forgive me! I'll admit, I'm not 100% happy with the end result - I was working with a very small light box and some sticky jelly babies! The knife was part of my cousin's Cluedo set.

Enjoy :).

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are good, though I think a little more saturation could help sell the candy/sugar idea. Hues are realistic.

Brightness and contrast: Brightness is good, contrast could be a little higher.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is good, but depth of field is quite shallow. At the very minimum I would liked to have seen the entire victim and the weapon in good focus.

Cute photo... I would have liked to see the lighting from a different angle. None of the "characters" cast any shadow. Shadows help give the picture texture and depth. The white "floor" and background run together kind of giving a gummies in space effect. The blood on the floor is a nice touch and helps correct this a bit. A more realistic floor and background could help sell the murder scene idea.

Cool idea, I'd like to see it done again in richer colors and better focus.
