Buzz Energy Candy

What it took: I bought this ridiculous energy candy at the convenience store entirely because the little tin amused me. Come on, it's got a picture of a beaver and it's "dam good" -- how could I pass it up? And the little maple leaves on the candy? That's attention to detail. A friend rightly pointed out that it tastes like "a combination of pop rocks and Mr. Clean" but I still think I got my $2 worth just for the packaging. :)
I wanted something that looked like a product shot to show off the excellent attention to detail on the packaging. So I arranged everything on a piece of black velvet with natural light from the window on the right. I was trying to get the energy candy to "glow" a little bit while still showing the maple leaves... not sure if I should have toned it down some. Used a long exposure with a wide aperture so that the product was fully in focus. The slight weirdness around the letters is due to the printing not being entirely lined up with the embossing.This is as-shot, only converted to jpg from raw.
