Artist's Comments

this was actually a yearbook assignment to take a shot that represents "community" . the lollipops are sold throughout our school to benefit many different charities.

i think i captured the whole sense of " giving" by positioning the girl's hands like that.

photoshopped like that because this is our first color yearbook and this illustrates the change from color to black and white.

we actually tooke this shot outside in cloudy ohio weather. so when i was working in it in photoshop, i cut out the background which was pavement and made it a simple black, which i think works better than streaks of white and yellow over asphalt.

Excellent! Reminds me of that famous richard Hamilton collage... I like the selective b&w very much, in a way, it looks quite 'real', I mean like the hands fading against the all-fancy-color candy! hm yeah hard to explain; but it's great work!

sweet picture I really like the bright colors and the BW for the back ground. I also think it was a great idea to take the background out.

I too am in yearbook production. Good picture. I love candy too. Well done.

A very nice choice. The black brings so much more attention to the objects and the hands. It is a very good piece, perfect for a yearbook because it's memorable.
I love the bold tones of the candy's colour also, it's dramatic but it isn't over the top colourful.
Well done on this one.

Jimzip :D
