    Cool idea and now I want chocolate! The glare from the light on the front of the glass really attracted my eye. I wonder if you could reshoot and reposition the light?

    Great idea, nice and colorful but I agree about the glare on the glass.

    Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.:D

    Make a quick and dirty light box....
    Foam board and velum (sp) from Micheal's does the trick. Get a couple cheapy halogen work lights and Bob is your uncle.

    Cut the foam board and tape the velum sheet over the cut outs. Makes for nice diffused lighting.

    Cool idea! For me, the glare makes it difficult to concentrate on the color part of the photo.

    Definitely a COOL shot--LIKE it!! Agree with the less glare on the glass comments. Where are the M&M's by the way so I can have a chocolate fix--oh that's right, we don't have any!! rolleyes1.gif Good advertisement for M&M's!! thumb.gif

    Cool Jon,

    another hint, I use white broadcloth also, and if I'm going for color I buy the broadcloth in color...it is a GREAT diffuser.


    Nice shot IMAX...but I agree about the glare

    Oooohhh, that is evil. M&Ms and candy corn and those little Hershey thingies!

    I love this shot. It looks just a tad dark on my screen and I personally would like to see just a little more detail of the container contents, which brightening might reveal. I like the pumpkin for balance and color and I love the concept.

    P.S. The brown candy (an M&M I'm guessing) in the air on the left side of the photo looks at first like a little bright spot. If you brighten the photo overall, it may show itself. Otherwise, you might want to dodge the piece of candy. I'd hate to lose it but the bright spot, without more, is distracting to the eye.

    I find the eyes much too bright on the new one. More of a soft glow inside the pumpkin, and maybe a touch more lighting in the front to help the colorful M&M's stand out.

    The redo of your original idea is better for lighting. If I were to change anything it would be to soften the lighting a tad. The orange/red M&M's are also grainy, and it's pretty easy to spot on those that are falling.

    With that said, this is my favorite out of the 3 tries. It's such a great idea, and fits the theme very well thumb.gif.
