Candy sushi is so cool! I think sweetened coconut is much better than rice crispies. Have you seen the Japanese kits that make candy roe?

I would have done just one or the other in the shot and possible tried it at an angle, not straight down.

Some great looking candy, but I'm sure you could take a much more interesting photo of them, but I guess by now you have eaten them all.

sushi candy that's a great idea

Thanks for your comments. I agree I probably could have taken a more artistic shot, but this was a quick snap before we sent these off to my son. But I thought it'd be fun to share the recipes etc. Yes, they are long gone.

...who am I to disagree

LOL Fallinghorse! Thx!

Nice

This is really cool....but what did you do to it to make it look that way?

Quite different, and very good.

Thank you for the comments,

Kellie you just had to ask didn't you? This I believe was quite literally the least technical setup I've ever done. For the BG I used orange tissue paper, it was taped hanging from my cupboard with the light from the kitchen sink behind it so I could get that glow. the irises were in a lemonade pitcher about 1 foot in front of it. The flowers were to dark then so (and here's where I get lazy) my buddy and I used the flashlights from our Droids to light the flowers! I was using a canon 50mm lens set to f/2.2 to give the very low dof. Then it was just a matter of pulling it into lightroom and adjusting the curves, fill, vibrancy, and boosting the oranges and purples a bit.

Lazy or not...wonderful! Thanks for the explanation...us newbies always need direction on good lighting!

Ahhh, I see. Very nice setup. I was kind of wondering why the edges of the flower looked the way they do. Is it possibly from Curves?

It's a combination of curves and color shifting, I took the blue levels down and that desaturated the fringe around the flower giving it that soft halo look.

Extra points for your creativity when you took this shot = )

You got me, author. Totally didn't know this was you until I voted on it. Great work as always!

A beautiful meaningful photograph. Well done.

I didn't know they had wheelchairs 2000 years ago.

Really Mark? And here I thought you were an educated man.

Congrats

Thinking outside the box is always good, nice capture author, well done.

Thanks .

I keep coming back to this one, which must be good. Well done.

Definitely like the creativity in this one, although I would have framed it in a bit tighter. Still, great job author!

I was afraid a tighter crop would eliminate much of the window's street side perspective.
