I'm guessing it's safety from yourself through pills??? I don't really know...but I don't like the execution. The lighting isn't the best and it seems out of focus.

Hmmm, kind of a mixed message here.

Sorry, but I don't see "safety" in a lot of pills spelling "forget her"?

Looking at the image though, there's a confusion with the light sources here.. one top right, another bottom left, yet there's not really enough light in the top left where your message begins... and the ripped paper? Is there any significance to it? Does it add to the story? Perhaps some words from a letter the "her" or a poem, or a song might have given more depth to the story, and this image.

IMO, it doesnt meet the challenge. It is hard to understand the topic: safety at last.

Wow, are you ok? Seriously - that's kind of heavy. I hope you take your own words of advice and we'll see you back again next week ok? OK!

Hmmm... escape more than safe, perhaps? Interesting interpretation, though.

Really provocative photo. A great idea, and I think it meets the challenge very well.

Though your concept is great, there are some technical issues with this photo IMHO. I think if the shadows were closer and darker, it would be more effective. I wish the photo wasn't cropped so close.

Excellent idea, and you get points for originally, which in my opinion is severely lacking here.

I always thought using pills or other substances to forget someone was a bad idea and very unsafe. I'm not sure how this could be safe at all.

But about the photo, the lighting is nice, but would be better if the lower left light were moved a bit farther away. The background is also kinda distracting. A plain background (white, black, or maybe green to contrast the red) might look better.

I think I get the meaning of this; I like it, the shadows are awfully harsh though on the forget, I think a different light source would've been good.

A good idea but let down by the lighting and the poor choice of background.
09/17/2008 11:22:39 AM
Poor lighting, forgettable background, not the strongest subject for the challenge topic.

For me, the overexposed lighting in the bottom left corner is damaging to the picture.
