In honor of Halloween (...yes I know it's November 1) I present: CANDY CORN![edit]

Original - Candy Corn is a popular candy given at Halloween in the United States.
Reason
A good image of sufficient size, illustrative of candy corn. Was looking for a holiday submission, found this three (seven) hours late though.
Articles this image appears in

  • Comment Where did you get the text for that description, the article makes no mention that it "has no resemblance to corn." It clearly does. Is this WP:OR? — raeky (talk | edits) 08:17, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apology I'm sorry. I was trying to be jovial for the holiday. It seemed like common knowledge to me. Removed. :(  Nezzadar [SPEAK]  08:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak OpposeThis is a trick I use with my pictures to detect blown out lights. I take the burn tool in GIMP (or Photoshop) and burn over the zones I suspect are blown out. If I never get detail in an area then I assume the light are blown out there. Probably professionals can correct me if what I am doing is wrong or if there is a better way. In this picture some (at least 3) of the tips of the candies have blown out lights.  Franklin.vp  08:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is no need to 'guess' if the highlights are blown out, there is an eye dropper tool that will tell you. There are lots of sites explaining how to use it, but here's one. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above. AlexanderMegarrido (talk) 09:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: Personally, I think this kind of shot works best when there is only the candy corn (or whatever) visible- in this, some of the surface on which it is lying is visible. I've never seen this stuff before- what does it taste like? J Milburn (talk) 10:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Waxy sugar. — raeky (talk | edits) 10:28, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • A little goes a long way. Candy corn has some magical ability to grab the attention of a passerby, to which the passerby goes, "Oh, candy corn!", then eats it, then realizes that in the past 364 days, they forgot how bad candy corn is. Or maybe that's just me... upstateNYer 17:17, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, that's me too.

WITHDRAWN It seemed like a good idea, but it's November and the image is crap. Ah well.  Nezzadar [SPEAK]  17:28, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
