It\'s appropriate that my first photo as a new member on the site be of something new. I shot this picture of our Easter candy on Easter morning. I used dodge to remove a sucker stick that I didn't like and resized the photo.

I've decided to go through and give a comment to each user who registered on my birthday (April 6) of this year... perhaps I'll go back to other years as well. Anyway... this photo makes me want chocolate!! Your exposure seems quite off... as does your focus...sometimes it is difficult for cameras to focus in macro mode and you have to be a little more patient. The lighting here is very harsh... but yeah... yum!
It feels to me that the highlights are over exposed. It's somewhat distracting to me, and detracts from the texture of the subject which could have been quite interesting.
I find the lighting too be much too harsh. perhaps if you used a diffuser the relfections off the foil wrappers would not be so bad. I find the majority of the image to be OOF. There needs to be a visual point that grabs the eye and keeps you looking - this image is lacking here.
