As Halloween fastly approaches I just happened to stumble across some delicious Candy Corn (candy pumpkins) in the local CVS. I had to buy them because its my favorite candy ever. Decided that it would be cool to photography them at a wide open aperture. This is the result. As always, your C&C is greatly appreciated!

not bad, could use a tiny tiny bit more DOF. I'm distracted by the red looking bokeh in the top of the frame, that could either be cropped out, or added in as a feature.

It's great. It almost looks like it was shot using one of the lens babies.

People said the red in the background was annoying so I fixed it.
This better and less distracting?

Great idea... the candies that you focused in on are on their sides or upside down. The one right in front is distracting to me, I would rather see the green stem or the line detail of the side. Looks yummy though! :)

I liked it! In my mind, the dark shape in the background is a witche's kettle...

Pleasurable composition...good job!
