M&M's in two glass vases. One farther back then the other. Small aperture so as to focus nearer vase contents and back vases contents at the same time. Using a 500w halogen shop light for the light source.

I really like the color in this image. I also enjoy the abstract nature of the shot created by the texture in the glass. The single red and single green pieces create a nice fit for the challenge. I also really like the way you titled this photo ;) It just makes sense to me :)
On a compositional note, I believe that creating a diagonal split between the glass containers would possibly create some more impact. Also to fit the title theme, offsetting the odd colored candy a bit would have been stronger also.
The combination of red and green work very well together in this image also. They create a nice element of contrast. I believe that contrasts are very important in most photographs. In a color or black and white image, the contrast is what usually creates the 'wow' factor, along with strong composition of the image. Color is a wonderful thing and it has been used very effectively in this image.
This image also shows me a nice 'thought' pattern from the photographer. You are thinking outside the 'box' and thinking like that usually leads to some impressive photos.
Basically a nice shot and the odd colored MM is a "strangeness", but I had hoped for more out of this world strange from this challenge. Crinkled glass/plastic is a neat touch. 7 Swash
