Took this photo pretty early in the month, and it still stood out as one of the best as the month wore on. There is only one change I wish I could have made, and that would be having candy in more of the full spectrum (I'm not enough of an editing expert to change the color in a pleasing way).
Used multiple light sources for this. First I setup two constant lights to light the background and overexpose it. Then I used an umbrella with a flash, shooting through the umbrella, and placed camera right. It was lowered to just above the candy and to the right to give extra definition to the sugar.
