I have never liked these sugary Easter candies and thought it would be fun to skewer them while their "friends" watched. Desaturated all but the three, sharpened, adjusted the curves and levels a bit along with some spot cloning and dodging around the shadow areas.

Ooooo, poor little chickies! You mae them lose their color! :)
Very good idea, good balance, nice use of color, not overpowered by the yellow peeps and unique idea. The handle of the fork could be moved just a bit so it comes right out of the corner to give this an almost perfect balance. But you still get an 8
Wonderfully creative idea!! Composition of elements is very good but technical presentation needs a bit of improvement. Lighting is one thing that could be better as that there are some distracting shadows on the fork and the peeps. Mayhap this would be eliminated by a straight on overhead shot that would throw the shadows behind/underneath the main objects (akin to what happens to your shadow at 12 noon as that the sun is directly overhead and makes the shadow 'disappear'). Illumination would be better on the peeps AND you would see more of that bold silver hue and sheen of the fork. Lastly, I think the background could have been better for this composition. The flat cream hue does nothing to make the main subjects visually 'pop' off the page - a flat bright white or a flat dark black can accomplish that. In addition the background here has lines present in it such that it is an unwanted added 'texture' that detracts from the main focus.
