Resized, Enhanced Color, Contrast & Lighting, USM. The thought occured to me on the final day of the challenge, "Why not use Ritz Bits & Reese's Pieces for this contest. It certainly "nails" the purpose! :)

Like the whimsy of the title and arrangement, but the exposure is a bit off for my taste. (And again, by the time I got to this one, I was starting to be put off by Reese's Pieces.)
Interesting title. The image is very soft with the DOF off. I'd use a smaller aperature to gain more sharpness. The Ritz bit closest to the back on the background seems to be the sharpest focus. I would love to see the focus moved forward to the front of the "tire."
