I found online that pixy stix were created and became popular during the 1970s, and being an avid candy lover, I couldn't resist using a grape (my favorite!) pixy stix.
To set up my picture, I simply set a piece of typing paper on the floor, broke and spilled the flavored sugar onto it, and set the remains of the wrappers.
No special lighting or anything, just plain and simple. I resized and brightened it, and cropped out some of the shadows on the corners.

What bothered me first about the photo was it's smudgy quality, and I rated it very low for that. But this photo makes a great use of negative space. And the lines created by the broken sticks are perfectly composed. Finally, I love the simple but compelling color palette.
i like the picture but the title doesn't seem to fit. if you wanted to go for a humorour title i think something along the lines of "the 70s - sniffing up anything that came in powder form." that would be funny and so 70s. or was it the 60s or the 80s when people did drugs. i dont know what time period that was in. i think it's 70s though
would have been a great submission for this week's challenge :) a little too much white, which turns yellow towards the bottom right half. Maybe a bit more contrast to bring out the pink. 6
I like this is photo, because the picture looks good ont he white background and the powder looks reallt cool with the broken stick near it. But i dont completly understand how it goes with the 70's.
Man I used to love these things. Orange was my favorite. I didn't think they made them anymore. It looks like the area below the subject has a yellow cast. Other than that I like it - it brings back memories.
