teehee..

The editing's very gimmicky and horrible and fake, I know..I'm putting it up because that was the only possible way of getting everything to stand out without ruining the dark and white balance.. I mean increasing the light of the darker part part would overexpose the white parts and vice-versa.. This was a tough decision but I don't want to disappoint my wpl team by not participating..

And I've never had prozac so I don't have knowledege of how it looks or should be presented.

The people in favour of non-processed pics will butcher me.. so if I get more than 3.99 I will be happy..

and what the hell happened to my nails..

BTW I did some some basic inverting and grayscale.. and fading.. nothing illegal..I hope..

Urfa..I can't believe this scored that low. I gave you a 10 because I thought this was one of the best ideas and executed very well. Could you tell me exactly how you did this? I am even going to make this one of my favorites.

Very interesting challenge to enter and just as un-dpc friendly the pic..

I liked the composition and the way everything made an impact.. good or bad it was up to the viewer of course.. I really did expect it to go down like a dying duck..

The nails ahem.. I have very nice nails.. dunno why they look like crap in the pic.. (the lady who commented on how nice they looked in the supermarket jinxed them arghh.. long story..) I only noticed them after I uploaded the pic here...

Oh and wow to the people who noticed what the bottle was for.. I didn't even read the label when I picked it up..

What I did to pic ..

I love the effect. Good depiction (even if it is a bottle of vitamins).

not sure if this is basic editing but if it is you have my vote as you have got the purple pill theme down pat. well done

Seems like it could be a powerful image and statement. But the curve inversion just kills this image, leaving disconnected hair highlights.

Very different and very cool, love the way you did this.

I love this effect: speaks about living in a negative state...irony being: whether that's under the influence of the drug or not!! Great idea and fantastic composition.10

That bottle looks like a Centrum vitamin bottle, yes? At any rate, nice photo, I gave you an eight.

Too much editing to grab me.

Clever...

How did you pull this off in basic? Very creative.

This gets the point across very well, but how did you do it in basic editing?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the effect... really conveys desolation and depression...

Way too much processing for my tastes - would've been better spending more time lighting nicely than trying to make it look interesting in post!

Way to blown out.

Very interesting. The processing both adds and takes away from the shot. I love it on the jar, hands and sleeves. In the hair, table and background, I get lost and have a hard time understanding where I am. It send a stong feel of out of reality and fading away into nothingness. 7

Super shot. Great post processing. How did you do that? 10

To "out there" for me..nothing to tie the hands together in my feeble mind and the hair is just weird. I do get the point though with the title so for that....

Interesting photo! Great idea - nicely done.

i really dislike the procesing here

of course it's about the post-processing editing, but the nails... :(
