What an amazing shot and a very well earned 12th place, I thought you were defiantly top 10. I think one of the most drawing features to your piece is the colors, so primary and enchanting. Looking through the thumbnails I remember this one grabbing my attention, how could it not? From what I can see the lighting is good, no glare. The dof is awesome. The idea is original, not like all the other and defiantly stands out. The swirls are really addictive to stare at, probably grabbing even more attention. Personally I can't see anything that I would change or do. Excellent job! Congrats!
Okay, I'm gettng dizzy here looking at this. Are these spinning or is it just me? WELL DONE!!!! Il ike this idea, the execution of the idea and hiding that candy cane in there is perfect for this, giving the eye a little bit of a break just when it needed it because honestly if I had to look at just the mints, I wouldn't be able to handle it for very long, LOL :)
The colors are spot on as they say but the light seems just a tad, a tiny smidgen harsh where it spotlights off the candy. The orientation of the shot also seems off just a bit, almost too straight for this, if you are going to mess with my eyes, rotate the picture just a bit more so that I'm brought in one side and falling out the other by following the trail of candy.
