great image -- wonderful setup and lighting

You have me drooling! Thumbs up, author.

Alright Author, great image, wonderful lighting...and definitely a Fav....but if u have this much time on your hands to set-up a candy photo....maybe u need another hobby...LOL...just kidding, I think this is a great way to kick off this contest...well done

This is indeed very creative and you definitely get extra points for the time put in to it =)

Wonderful detail and great idea for this contest. Good luck author.

"Candy Bar" *snicker(s)* Love the little bottles

(and we're all pulling for you and your countrymen, buddy. You should set up shop doing photography. You're certainly good enough)

Think your daughter and or wife will hate and love you for this! You destroyed her dollhouse but at least replaced it with candy.

Damn! Can't say anything bad on this entry...

Congrats for making it to the final round

Congrats fantastic work

Congratulation! A well deserved win!

Well deserved. Congrats on your earning a Final 4 position. I can't wait to see your entry. Good luck.

Great job! I would love some of your candy! :P

Congrats, I knew this would take first when I saw it. See you at the final round. =)

I like how you gave a three dimensional "perspective" in to a one dimensional drawing!!!
Good luck.

Oh how cool and fun is this, well done =)

This was the most clever entry. Congrats and see you at the finals =)

congrats

and you were right... very nice!!!

Water Drops?!? seriously?....but yes...well done, just kidding...wonderful, colorful, well done image....Good luck author

Intriguing, original, and of-course out of the box. GL, author

very well done, I first thought they were cupcakes.

Thank you guys, and yes seriously! lol. I was going for something more unusual, but I know it's not super original either.

Beautiful choice and perfectly executed. I have to put it on my list of techniques to learn which just got longer. Well done author.

Very cool. Did you check it out with just a little closer crop (not too much though)

I agree the water drops do work here even though I feel that the colors are a bit dull, something that a bit of playing with the contrast and vibrance can cure. Think the entry will get better from it.

I have already cropped it, and adjusted contrast to bring out the colors. I'm afraid I can't do anything else with this shot. Thanks for kind comments, and tips.

You've taken the technique and really done a wonderful job of making it fresh and interesting. I think you've done a terrific job with this entry.

Thank you MossyB, all the wonderful comments really make a difference to me.

Congrats for making it to the final round

Great entry and well deserved to be in the final 4. Way to go and good luck this week.

Thanks guys, this time though I'm shaking in my boots, the final round is most challenging, well at least I came up with an idea, lol = )

congrats

Amazing! More than well donw, author

Great focus on the air bubbles. Maybe the same color background would make the candy stand out more.

I think to accurately vote on any of these entries the people entering them need to send us all samples

The details are amazing: the bubbles and the moiré at the wrapper.

TBH though I do not like the visibility of the glass that much, it distracts. Maybe crop it a bit?

Great details indeed!!!

Congrats for making it to the final round

Excellent entry and congrats on making it to the final four. We are all excited to entries from this extremely talented group. Good luck.

Hey Roon, well done. Everyone wanted a taste of your cola candy. Congrats on making to the final round, see you there =)

wow.... congrats

There you go, now that's cool = )
