Nice. Looks like you might want to reduce your reds just a touch

true picture of design, good

congratulations on 1st. well deserved.

Nice exposure and lighting

beautiful, wonderful focus

The eye, at least in Turkey, is to ward off evil. They are everywhere, even pinned on babies and hung on walls of establishments. The theory is, that the evil will be reflected back to the one bringing it. The eye is on constant guard against all evil, therefore is a good luck charm. This is why it is called the "Evil Eye", not because it is evil.

fine history - thank

Very cool shot

elegant

you just can't trust those babies.

nice image Reminds me of days with my sons and their early efforts in sports.

Awesome find. The blue on rust makes for a cool image.

Good image. The paint job makes it unique and stand out. Good find author.

Author, please tell us which 2 colours are the complimentary ones

a goof clic

very effective

Looks a little dark, is that your photo or was the lighting like that?

nice work

Your toothpick is missing :-P

Shouln't it be "Bluetiful Rust?"

Very nice... good DOF

lovely, the DOF really makes it.

Good one. The top of the ball is just a touch overexposed though

Looks better... more 3 dimensional. Good luck

love the soft misty feeling.

Very cool. I like it a lot, but you might play with contrast just a little

If I had been there it would have been a picture of an empty bowl

awesome shot

Mucho better IMHO Makes the composition more exciting.

Can't go wrong with the color combinations of M&M's LOL

DOF is a bit to strong IMHO and the white cloth as underground isn't really attractive to me, maybe some metal structure like the inside of the can would have worked better.

But I do love the color reflections of the M&M's inside the can, on purpose or not: that's a nice detail

They look yummie!

Maybe you can burn the black background more in Photoshop (it's allowed), the wrinkles of the cloth annoy me personally. Also the composition might be more interesting if you crop the black areas left and and at the bottom out, something I would do.

Otherwise: I really like the light like it is coming out of the bowl (actually guess it is)

M&M's are one good thing that came out of WW II. They were developed so the chocolate wouldn't melt on the soldier's hands and get in their weapons.

Congratulations, well done, so different.

Congrats for making it to round 3
