This was a very good idea, but very hard to pull off without specialized equipment: light box, lamps, special lens, and of course Photoshop. You can accomplish good things without all the equipment, and this is the place to learn. Enter often, try new things, read the forums and tutorials, and don't be discouraged. Most importantly, have fun.
Technically it fit's the challenge - it just short on 'Wow' factor.
The colours black and yellow really ought to go together very well, but I think the vibrance is a little diluted by the amount of white space we see from the surface below. Good try though
The lighting seems a bit harsh, probably b/c of the refective rappers and glossey plate that they sit upon. Maybe diffusing the light and using a solid white non-reflective background might have given this a softer appearance.
i think the composition would have benefitted a more natural randomness. like throwing up the tootsie rolls and letting them fall as the may. then placing the milk duds per the rule of thirds as it's current placement feels unnecessarily awkward to me. finally a white balance adjustment or contrast boost would be cool to brighten the pic as it looks a bit drab at the moment. just a personal opinion...feel free to luge on my profile page.
