I guess this was not voted as high because of the set-up, but WOW, I think this is amazing. The set-up is wonderful - I'm so drawn to this image.

Comment by Ceefore:
I see where your trying to go with this still life, the concept of drugs and health fits the challenge well but I feel you need some improvement in the execution of the idea. A couple of things which jump out - the arrangement of the pills on the tray looks a little slipshod - with a still life you have total control over the image and I'd have concentrated on the arrangement to add emphasis to your idea. You've titled your entry health and death and if this was thought out in advance of taking the picture I'd have tried to fit a 'death' element in there somewhere as this doesn't shout death to me.

You've used an interesting selection of colours in your image and this is good - particularly when placed against a stark background like you have done, but the colours are under utilised for me. They're dark and don't pop enough.

Lastly, the thing on the right hand side. I think this is a glass of water for taking the pills with? I can't make it out, maybe this is because of the crop and the reflection working against you? Whatever this is, its pretty confusing for me as a viewer and I'd have been tempted not to include it or to replace it with another object such as bottle of medicine. I give this a 4.

I think I would have liked to see this cropped a bit differently so that the (water?) glass wasnt in the picture... but thats just me.

This image keeps catching my eye. I'm presuming I'm looking at a macro shot, and am drawn into the composition. For my tastes, one of my top 10!

That's absolutely incredible. It almost looks molecular or computer drawn. A nine for you.
