Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)
Composition/Lighting : The composition is very interesting in this photo. i like it, but i believe the "ground" or "bottom" of this shot could have been a better material. maybe a black felt sheet or something like that. this would really bring out the pastel colors, where they get lost in the busy background with this. The lighting on this is rather harsh. too much direct like, maybe? maybe a softer, more diffused light could be used to really get some shadows going. very flat light used here. great photo nonetheless, you did very well.
Challenge : it definitely fits the challenge. the colors are beautiful. i like the assortment of colors you chose as well. they just, like said earlier, tend to get lost in the background, which is a close color to the candies. try it w/ a black background and softer light, and i think you'll be impressed w/ the outcome.
Conclusion : very nice job here, and not a bad score. keep on shooting and see what you get w/ this idea. i think you had a great idea, and executed it quite well.
Keep on shootin!
Good luck on your future challenges:)

| There were many candies submitted in this challenge. This is by far the best candy photograph utilizing pastel hue! Great job! |

| I don't know what they are resting on but it doesn't look very good as a background and is distracting and unappealing for a food shot |

| the background looks like fiberglas insulation. The desat on the candies makes them look unappetizing. Sorry! Just thought you'd want to know. |

| The fuzzy hairy surface these are on is very unapealing. Would have been best on a flat hard surface. It was a good attempt at a macro but didn't quite make it. Its out of focus and pixelated. I like the concept and the colors. |

| The pastel candies are great. Perfect DOF and the lighting isn't bad. Im not sure I like the blanket you put them on. This might have been stronger with a different backdrop. |
