Hi David ...I'm not satisfied with the dark background either.

Both items could be considered helpful or harmful, life savers or life
takers.  Depends on the circumstances ;-))

Interesting. Life savers, life takers.

I think it might be neat if it was shot on a light table/ infinity
background, with the light shining through the lollies. I find the
black background a bit too heavy.

As you say it's just a test shot, but the concept has heaps of promise.

Just my humble thoughts

Dave

P.S.
Try crushing some with a hammer. If you do it just right they
sometimes explode quite dramatically (don't ask me how I know this 
)
