 What I like most about the photo is that I conceived it from start to finish. I knew I wanted the DOF to show the pill bottles in focus and the rest NOT in focus. The fact that I actually ACHIEVED this has me giggling every time I look at my home page. DESPITE the morbid nature of the photo. I'm so proud of it. I'm so excited about the growht. The forward momentum. the potential that lies ahead!!!!!!

I like this! I tend to be somewhat morbid though, so maybe that is just me.

Also, I like the soft lighting reflected on the floor.

I think the wineglass would be more effective as a wine bottle instead perhaps. Just a bit less DOF might have worked too. Maybe a cool filter and a bit of desat in the reds would have been an interesting alternative too.

I wouldn't worry about the score. This kind of topic seldom does well.
