Love the title on this one. It's not always easy to turn away from the golden-hued gummies. Stand strong, Green Gummie, stand strong! I can't watch.

If ilisu, the queen of all things color, says the colors are awesome I feel pretty darn happy! Thanks!!

highglosshighs, I don't think he's going to have to worry about the others anymore.... :)

It was definitely hard to shoot. Bears kept disappearing. I managed to save the green one. He's an endangered species now.

dogsbody says:

Gorgeous! I love the reflections. And I think my son would like it if I made it a desktop as Idletask suggested!
Posted 59 months ago. ( permalink )

Ocell says:

It'd fit on an iBook as a wallpaper so perfectly! I just loaded it onto my Powerbook.

dogsbody says:

I heartily second that nomination!
Posted 58 months ago. ( permalink )

Velvet G says:

Thanks!

Vitamin_dee, sorry. I found these critters at the Barrel Store (the second greatest place on earth!) and unfortunately, the cherry bears were hibernating. These were the only ones around when I was there.

Aphrodite M says:

Man, you're going to make me run to the market! I just got a gummi craving.
Posted 57 months ago. ( permalink )

Velvet G says:

Then my plan worked!

OK, my favorites ones are the harder ones. The softer ones just don't do it for me.
Posted 57 months ago. ( permalink )

Aphrodite M says:

you mean like Jujubes? Those always get stuck in my teeth. I much prefer them soft!
Posted 57 months ago. ( permalink )

Velvet G says:

Oh no. Not that hard. They have some that are more chewy, but definitely not as hard as jujubes.

gummi bear dance party! What a great way to breathe life into candy... I feel my sweet tooth calling.
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

Velvet G says:

:) Thank you. My friend Deana and I talked about gummi bears recently and she scored even more cool points with me. She's a Blackforest Gummi person as well!

C-Monster says:

totally cool.. gummi bears on the move...
Posted 53 months ago. ( permalink )

Velvet G says:

Thank you, mmarchin. That's definitely not cool. I asked her to take it down.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she didn't do it to to be malicious. She emailed me back and took it down.

LOL... great title for a great photo.
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

Velvet G says:

I got away from this style and need to go back to it. I miss doing these. Hopefully adding a real macro lens to my new camera gear will allow me to do this and more.

Very nice! What kind of surface and lighting is that?!
Posted 48 months ago. ( permalink )

Velvet G says:

definitely fun, Jennifer!

givertex, it's just a desklamp with the shade off and glossy photo paper.

Basic stuff I had in the apartment at the time.

Well staged and love that facial expression!
Posted 46 months ago. ( permalink )

John Adam says:

What amazes me is that I was able to read the situation here from just a glimpse at the thumbnail. I could tell the foreground bear was being goaded by the background bears; the title only confirmed it. To me that says you are masterful at staging a shot.
Excellent light, too.

Velvet G says:

Thanks everyone! Been saving my pennies to get a macro lens for my new camera. I'd like to do more like this.
Posted 44 months ago. ( permalink )

sodabug says:

wonderful story in a frame, i reckon u could also turn the situation around and have the green gummi looking at all the other gummis and making true the phrase "green with jealousy."
