Interesting shoot with many ideas, finally settled with this shot. Idea was to portray the dangers of medicine to young children but the sweets we used in the shots appeared to distracting, tried different compositions but i wasnt happy with it.

For this final shot i used a blank medical container so there was no visable trademarks and also a blank medical cup. I used glycerine mixed with red food colouring to make the substance more visable.

Overall i feel i achieved what i set out for.

Hi,

Lets start with the challenge itself. "Stock photos Medicine", matches to this challenge, however if I needed a stock photo about medicine, I probably would not buy this one. I don't think idea is wrong, but it is pretty much cheesy shot.

Technically it's ok. Probably too much vignette and some hue problems.

Personal note: I would have a long sleeve shirt, probably white, like the doctors, and just get rid of the pills in the cup. Vignette is not necessary here, and I would also keep the distance between the top hand and the cup a little closer. I checked your portfolio, you just started, young person who has lots of time, so don't get discouraged by guys like me. I am sure you will do better very soon :o)

great idea, got the concept of a stock photo.

I think this would have been better without the pills in the cup.

Very nice lighting and clarity. The double waterfall effect is pretty cool.

interesting concept. the lower hand is just a bit overexposed compared to the upper hand, but nice overall
