 Wanted to do something that everyone else wasn't. Saw these at the dollar store and decided to try to do something with them.
Used one sb and two slaves to backlight the bowl. Had to use my nd filter to get the lens opened up to 2.8. PP duplicate layer, screen 60%,adjust brightness/contrast. VP to saturate the colors. Burned the drops and rim. Resize. Sharpen. add text. save.

Love the colors. The blurry background colors help pull the beads on the frontside out. Good pic!

LOL, Love it. Don't care for the water spots though.

I like the concept. I think you could have done better on the lightning though. Did you use backround lighting solely? Maybe you could have gotten a greater depth in the color of the crossing string in the upper part by using some kind of a spotlight or a different colour light, perhaps blue.

A bit on the confusing side. What is the point of focus?

Wow, this stuff looks like candy...rock candy, I guess. Great colors and a nice choice for fonts.

I'm sure that my 10 year old daughter would be tempted by this :)

For me I think that the image would better with the bottom 25% cropped - but I'm not a kid :)

Cute and colorful. Nice use of lighting and a fun composition. Almost could use a lttle bit more water on the bowl. Should do well. Good luck.

great idea!!! Great tag line. crisper photo needed. (More DOF)

I like the picture, but the words....
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This one doesn't work for me in this challenge.
Way too busy, robust in color and without a central focal point.
Text/font isn't a great choice here. Still met the challenge though (5)

I like the idea of this image. The colors play well with each other.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/25/2005 08:25:48 AM
I like: the concept, composition, colors, slogan, and font. Perhaps a slighter deeper DOF would be good.
I don't like seeing waterdrops but no fish. 6

A good idea, a little too much happening, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/24/2005 09:05:03 PM
The font for the text personally to me ruins an otherwise nice shot.
The lighting looks good though.
