Absolutely delicious. How did you set up the lighting for this? It's controlled enough to put just the right amount of sheen where it needs to be, yet looks totally natural.

I just looked up your camera and noticed that you to do have a few White Balance settings options.
If that doesn't work, you could always just adjust the levels in Photoshop... essentially what you're trying to do is remove as much of the yellow as possible... so perhaps if auto levels doesn't give you the result you want, you could try to manually mess with the color balance.
I played around the image and uploaded a slightly fixed up version here:

I just looked at your image... the color problem can be fixed by getting the correct white balance.

Lots of colour and detail, enhanced with the lighting. Excellent work. I like the chipped yellow Skittle towards the bottom right corner.

good eye
I had actually been trying to turn over all the chipped skittles so that there was as little pale color as possible... but I guess I missed one... but I guess it has some appeal too.

Hehe, yeah it does. It's something to spot that is isn't obvious and little quirks are good I think as they add character.

What would've been neat is if there was a couple cracks on the glass, that being because of the "overflowing" of the skittles from the glass.
Welcome to my favorite list.

that's an excellent idea... I've come up with a bunch of other ideas that I only could conceive after seeing the images on the large screen... so I'll definitely being trying the Skittles concept/shoot again. I might try your idea as soon as i find myself a crappy glass to try and crack.
Thanks so much for the suggestion and the
