Thanks to Mandy for getting all sticky for me!
This was actually harder than it looks! Either the cotton candy would melt too much or it would fall off of her hands. Had to improvise by putting the bagged cotton candy on a chopstick.

Camera Work/Technical: Terrific model and wonderful color with this capture. Everything looks very crisp, save the cotton candy on the stick.
Lighting: I think the lighting accounts for the soft look the the candy has. I think that side of the frame is just a bit hot causing the candy to blend into the background. The large bright spot also creates a distraction that pulls the eye from the attractive model and the great expression.
Composition/Content: Very well planned and executed. I do agree that the glasses frame should either be up a little or down a little. Running it straight through the eyes makes the eyes look very distorted.
My Opinion: I like it, and I think that it should have scored much better even as it. Moving the glasses and toning down the left lighting would have surely boosted it as well.
