Image of the Week: A Rainbow of Fruity Flavor by Micky Zlimen

I love this because it makes Skittles look so much tastier than they really are… all rainbowy and shiny and speckled with tiny dings. Sweets are usually more appealing to me in the abstract than they are in the real world consumption. And well-composed macro shots are awesome (though I still don’t always get them right).

On a side note, I think they should make giant Skittles, the size of those mini eggs you get in bags at Easter.

Here’s another of Micky’s photos that I liked a lot, too.  She seems to have a talent for making the most of colour, and gives what might have been rather pedestrian images a lovely bright hyperreality.
