Taken on a glass block with a piece of poster board underneath it. Two 500 Watt lights on the right and bottom shining through the block. No Gummi Bears were harmed in the filming of this shot!!

Maybe it would have been more "convincing" had you stood them up, like viewing a square dance from obliquely above. We needn't see all of them face-on.
Despite your note, I have a suspicion some bears were harmed AFTER the making of this shot...
I absolutely love the detail and sharp focus achieved in this shot. The clarity of the features on the gummi bears is amazing. I also like the colors and lighting.
The vibrant colors are great fun and the lighting is bright enough to give the gummi bears a nice glow but not so bright as to set up a glare.
The overall composition, however, seems to lack something and to be honest, I don't know that I can put my finger on what it is. I think maybe it is the deliberate placement of the bears as opposed to a more random arrangement. Of course, this is just that "gut" kind of reaction I had to the image. Technically, I think you did a great job. I think the shot just does not appeal to me aesthetically.
Very impressive - can't think of a single thing to improve this. Great concept, definately meets challenge, great background and border selections. One of my favorites this challenge - good luck!
Cute idea! Bears are very clear. A bit of reflection off the glass. Maybe swapping the green and light yellow bears would have been good (hide the glare a bit better). Nice blue sky background. 8 Rob the Swash
Awesome! Good choice of background color, it fits to the gummi bears perfectly. Good lighting set up as well, although the left side seems a tad darker than the right - 9.
The floating effect does it for me in this pic. Good choice of colors and numbers. Its a good medium in terms of the proximity of the bears to the camera, not too close nor too far. Great job, the best I've seen so far. - 9
