This seems like an odd shot...I understand that the candy (I assume it's candy from the color) is textured, but I can't tell what it's attached to, or why it's attached to it in the first place. 5
Nicely textured but the drab background seems to leave the image wanting I feel... perhaps a darker backdrop to bring out the colour and contrast would have been better?
Nice composition and color. Good use of the shadow to balance the image. Seems to lack some clarity though and is a bit grainy. The lighting is also a little harsh - I think a softer, warmer light source might add to the appeal of the image. Still, it looks delicious!
I haven't seen that many nerds in one place since I toured Microsoft ;) Interested to see how you got them all on there, frosting? I think the lighting could be adjust a little-image seems dark and dull. See if you can post process it and get a much better image, there is potential here with a little rework.
You should have cropped out the background. It's just too plain and that shadow is really ugly and distracting. If you had filled your frame with the coloured things you would have gotten a much better picture!
I'm not a big fan o fthe huge shadow or the gray "thing" it's sitting on. You might have included ONLY on the colored things (candies?) for a more striking picture.
