David Blecman's Annapolis Photography Workshop Group hosted a critique/competition tonight with the theme of candy. Here are my three entries. I didn't win anything.

David said my first shot titled "Lollipop" that the background was overexposed by a half stop to a stop.

David said my second entry title "Thin Ribbon Candy" wasn't sharp and he didn't like the little bit of candy sticking up at the very end of the ribbon.

Here is my last entry. This is my niece Samantha and what's left of her Halloween candy. I cut a box to just the right size and cut out a place for her neck. I put a pillow in the bottom and she laid down with her head in the box. Then I filled it with candy. Sam was a great sport so I had to use enter one.

Oh well maybe I'll have better luck next month. The theme is kitchen utensils.
