Default Candy Shoot with Amanda N Hawkins

I recently did a portrait shoot that involved a ton of candy so I thought I would post what I thought was one of the winners from the series and see what people thought.

I am looking for feedback on: Lighting, Pose, Creativity, Editing, etc...
I look forward to your feedback thanks

I think it looks great. I'd be mighty happy with shots like this one......

i love the pose.

but it seem to me that her hair takes up too much of the shot, so i'd crop so that her eyes line up in the top third.

at first look I thought more body would be great here.
but then taking another look, I've realized what was bothering me was the chopped off fingers on the candy.
also, going for that kind of shot, I think you need the candy around her to have strong colors (like the one in her hands) cause her face really have strong makeup colors.

mmmm...candy...i like. It's a nice shot. I think it could use a little more pop, vibrance to it. The candy seems dull
