		| | I don't think the color of the sheet works well, seems unnatural. Cool idea, I would have prefered a deeper DOF. |

		| | good idea, but it would be nice if the chocolate balls in the front were in focus. |

		| | Too many chocolate balls in soft focus.  Interesting composition.  Lighting a bit harsh from flash. |

		| | Good idea. I think a few simple things could really improve this image. A neater surface for the subject like a board or table top that wouldn't get ripples in it. I think if the image included more of the hand and a bit of the wrist it would balance the composition more. It looks like you used a flash making the lighting a bit sharp. I think a light setup to one side would create some interesting shadows across the surface and would reduce the white dots on the chocolates. I also would have focused the camera on the chocolates at the front of the shot. The way you placed the chocolates works for me creating a nice "random balance." |

		| | A fun idea, but the technical side of it doesn't do your idea justice I think.  The lighting is uneven with harsh shadows, the choice of backgroud color really doesn't add to the subject IMO, and the focus really seems off. |

		| | seems the focal point should have been the closer 'marbles'   5 |

		| | Cute!  But the closest of the milk duds is blurry and  your eye is drawn to it as a viewer.  I think the lighting could be more evenly distributed throughout as well.  Nice idea though. |

		| | funny idea, but i think it would have been better to have the closer chocolates in focus and the hand blurred. |

		| | putting the hand in focus was a good use of dof, I'd like a bit more of it showing.  Straightening the tilted horizon and the wrinkled cloth would help. |

		| | good idea, would have been better with white cloth, with no creases, for more effect.
