I like the colors, but think that the Skittles are a little tacky. The round dish is elegant looking and the skittles are kind of kiddy looking.
I do like the lighting. There are no glares or distracting shadows anywhere, which is good considering you were photographing some shiny objects. I wonder though, if maybe there could be a little more light on the skittles. They seem darker than the object.
It looks really nice with the background as well. Bright objects on dark background. Nothing distracting there at all.
There is a dark blob in the middle of the skittles, which I don't find adds anything at all to the shot. I'm not sure what it is, or why it's there. As is, I find it a bit of a distraction.
I like the angle you chose to shoot this at, and the framing you also chose. I like how the flowing top of the orange object is in the right of the photo.
Overall, I really like it. I only think it would look better with maybe some green jems rather than skittles.

Good image. I like the colors and objects you used to display them . I also like the way the black of the background helps with the lighting. I do think that this image needs to be sharpened a bit.
