I tried to do a similar picture (of New Easter Candy for the Something New challenge), but it looks like you were much more successful. I like the color, the lighting, the arrangement of the candy (the yellow in the top right I think draws your attention well) Good work!
this looks very clear, nice colours etc etc, but I don't think it fits the challenge very well - there are some cleverer ideas than this (although technically your photo looks good).
Yeah, and those Runts do go bad after a while. I worked in an office where they had been used for decorations in a jar. After ten years, or so, they developed pits in thier exterior. Very odd.
Nice clarity and sharpness on the photo. Doesn't seem like an expected find, but a photo who's title was selected to match the challenge. Maybe if you had the candy in a situational shot (falling out of a pocket or something), it would make more sense for the challenge.
