I had a few ideas of what to do but I decided on this one as the others were more predictable. Tried it with 4 other colours in the foreground but thought this looked best. I put them on a cd wallet, with another cd wallet behind. The Little sparkles are from the flash reflecting off the material of the cd wallet. Taken with the Kit Lens. Photoshop:

Nice try, but the focus is so loose that it's hard to look at. It actually hurts my eyes when I try to focus on the foremost bear. Good statement though.

Would be more powerful if the orange gummy was in focus. Great focus on the Red bears.

Unlucky 7th

This is the first time i see candy-bears send out such a strong message.

By the title, it seems the yellow guy in front should be in focus rather than the circle of popular bears. Fun concept though, and well composed.

First I thought that the orange bear was too out of focus, now I think it's the best way to show how it feels. By the way, what are they talking about?

I think the DOF is too harsh here. We can still tell what the front image is but I think it still would have worked with the orange bear next to the reds instead of so close to the camera.

nice idea and made me laugh, the only thing i would say here is maybe the dust and hair could have been cloned out as this is distracting.

this is just my opinion but i think that this pict. would have been better if the orange bear was in focus and the red were not....6

Nice idea. They should have been all in focus though. You might have put the orange one too, say, the group's right side and thus keep them all in focus without loosing the picture's message. And you should have removed that dust from the black surface.

I think this would have worked better if the bear being left out was in focus and the other six were a little out of focus. The blur on the foreground bear is a little extreme. Overall I like the idea a lot.

LOL. Next time brush the crumbs and hairs of the gummies before you shoot. This is an amusing entry. Not sure if I liek the OOF bear, though. (5)

Difficult subject because of the texture and reflectivity of the (?) Gummy Bears. I would have scored it higher if it were all in sharp focus and possibly without the dust spects mid frame.

I don't think I like your choice of DOF here. The front guy is way too out of focus for my personal taste. The white specks all over the table around the group are distracting and so are the little light glares on the red gummies. I like the idea, it's cute, but I think that it needs a little tidy-ing up. ~Heather~

A+ idea, but the execution is not as good. The flakes on the black are distracting, and the lighting is too harsh and reflective.

cute. and a little sad too. don't really like the crud near the focused gummies. would prob clone/heal out if not for the basic rules.

Very cool idea, if only the "reject" would'nt be so out of focus...
