Cool idea for this picture. What are those things? They almost look like they are made out of the same material as gummi bears. The composition and color look good to be but there are a few things that take a lot away from the picture for me. I donĂ¢€™t like the way the shadows look, but I do like the way the light is shining through the green objects in the lower right portion of the photo. I think some sort of diffuser over the light source would have helped. The other thing that bothers me are the faint reflections in the surface that the colored objects are sitting on. There are also some black spots showing up on the background that take away from the picture for me. Finally the picture appears to have been sharpened a bit too heavily. It might just be the monitor I am looking though, but it seems like some of the edges are either oversharpened or that there is some CA going on. I know this might sound like a bunch of nit-picking but I think if you pay attention to these small details that you will be very pleased with the result. Little things like the reflections and black spots drive me nuts when I am doing pictures like this, but I have never regretted going back and fixing these issues. It is enough to make the difference between a professional looking picture and a beginner picture. I am not saying that yours is a beginner picture either. I gave it a 5.

these stone had being my "model" before, hardly to get a nice shoot from them, unless ..(I think) under sun light explosure, if, shoot indoor, these stone become dark, bored and dull color.
