I love Skittles. I probably should have purchase some other flavors so I would have more variety of colors, but I didn't so this is what I have.

Good things:
I like the border. Sometimes borders like that can be a little overpowering but yours does a good job of keeping the colors all nicely tied together.
I like how the Skittles are nicely arranged. You did a good job with lining them up - sometimes even a little bit of mistake here can really throw off the balance and flow of the image.

So-So things:
I like the diagonal composition, but perhaps if you had flipped the image horizontally, it would have led the eye in a more "rainbow" type fashion.
Background - there is not too much of it showing, but where it does, it distracts (just a little) due to the texture.
I agree that you could have put more red and purple in but this doesn't really bother me at all.

Things that could really help the shot:
The colors here are very flat and dull. A levels or curves adjustment would have helped immensely, I think.
Title is maybe not the most original - it's okay, just that when there are other images in the challenge like yours, having such a common slogan just underscores the idea in the voters' minds that this is something we have seen before.

In general, good attention to detail in the setup, and with a bit more careful attention to post-processing this could have been much better I think!

Nice colour, I might have enjoyed more of the darker skittles in shot for balance...

Nice enough idea, however the lights are far too harsh on this image. Something also appears to have gone astray with the processing, the orange skittles have strange colour casts.

Great setup and DOF. The only thing this shot is missing is a bit of curves to really make this shot explode at the viewer IMHO. Well done.
