Then they eat the more colorful props.

As I said, I was bored. This is the result. :dunno

C&C welcome, of course, but not necessary. :D

    whats the reflective prop?

    BTW, I've done the same thing on a rainy day... Even tried the 'reverse lens' macro one evening. Turned out to be quite tough.

    Tell me are those little candies like fizzy?
    Fruity but tangy and fizzy once they are in your mouth?
    We have something similar called Fruit Tingles.

    They're nice and colourful, good shot Lee thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    The background is a stone floor tile. It's a sample I got from an installer that closed down - It's never been walked on. The container the SweeTarts are spilling out of is a goblet carved out of black marble. For lighting I used the 100 watt bulb on the wall (lower left of image) and a Mini-Maglight (lower right).

    I've done reverse lens, but it's been years.

    Thank you, Daddy-O. I shot them as they fell. I only moved two, and that was to use them to keep the goblet from rolling out of frame. :D

    What Scott said, Skippy.

    Thank you all for your comments. I actually wasn't expecting such kind words. wings.gif

    The kind words I received from all of you is very much apreciated, but to be copied ("Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.") is beyond the call of duty.

    CassisP: I don't mind at all. I'm glad I inspired you and thank you for the double compliment. Very nice image. You did well. thumb.gif
