Flash of Red 12

Day two of the same subject using positive and negative space to emphasize the subject. It was a bit tricky getting the foil wrappers to contrast as they were pink and red and too close to each other in value but I managed it somewhat.
I love the lustre you captured with these Ann, and hope yu ate them!!

Great shot.

Great job and nice textures!
February 13th, 2019  
Nicely done.

I like it Ann. Hope the choccies were good.
February 13th, 2019  
Good in B/W

I think you manage very well. I’m struggling with this one this week for some reason maybe because of my subject but you are doing a magnificent job
February 13th, 2019  
Good choice for the positive/negative idea.

The wrappers in your pic have wonderful texture! I am still slowly snacking my way through the Hershey's Kisses that we got for Christmas ...They are quite tasty as well as photogenic!

Aw...sweet look, and useful illustration of the theme this week.

Great image to illustrate positive and negative spaces.
I've only seen these chocolates on 365 but I imagine they are delicious!
February 13th, 2019  
I’m glad to see that your negative space takes up less room than your positive does! I love this.
February 13th, 2019  
I think you achieved good contrast.
February 13th, 2019  
Nice, I like the jumble of them. I once tried Hershey's chocolate but it was just too different to my usual English or Swiss chocolate! I like the shape of them though.
February 13th, 2019  
You do make these b&w shots look easy Ann! Lovely

@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL Of course I did- the sacrifices we make for 365!

@pdulis @mittens @pyrrhula @randystreat

Thank you Peter, Marilyn, Ferry, and Kathy!

@golftragic They were! Thanks Marnie!

@wendyfrost @milaniet @taffy @louannwarren @henrir

Thank you Wendy, Milanie, Taffy, Lou Ann, and Henri!

@grammyn Thank you Katy! As for your subject- I do see that you're struggling with it so I am going to suggest that you could-
choose a second subject for the remainder of the week.
check out other shots of Pointsiettas by typing the name in as a tag and see what comes up- if you see something you like, copy it!
or don't limit yourself to sooc as you have been so far. Do some post processing. Try high-key, low-key, textures whatever you like to have fun with. Remember- every picture has positive and negative space. Sometimes it's just more obvious than in others. This exercise should be fun and not a chore- so do what is best for you!

@dsp2 Thanks Dinah- they are, aren't they?!

@casablanca Thank you Casablanca! Hershey's chocolate, although quite popular here, is not the best chocolate the US has to offer. Actually I'd say that most of the chocolate you can buy in the supermarket is really not all that great. But there are confectionaries who make it fresh and then, oh my! It's chocolate heaven!

@robz Thank you Rob!

@bella_ss Oops- meant to include you in my comment to Casablanca above. They are tasty but not the best chocolate overall. I'm sure they started out much better, but once these candies start being mass-produced they lose the better taste. I think the best chocolates, no matter where you are, are the ones made by a confectioner. Just like anything else, chocolate is always best when it's fresh.
February 13th, 2019  
Great shot.
February 13th, 2019  
@haskar Thank you Haskar!
February 13th, 2019  
Nice to see you found some more willing volunteers to fill the positive space and I can see the contrasting colours well enough. Looking good.
