Thanks for all your great comments. Just so you know I submitted the wrong version of this photo. I guess that is what happens when you submit at the last minute. The version I meant to submit was much more in focus and was from a little different angle. Oh well, maybe next time.
Image looks quite distorted through the noisy effect. I'm sure that's deliberate but I think you really need to go the whole distance and try to use more dynamic composition and background. Perhaps the pills should have completely covered all signs of a background, or maybe they could have been arranged more interestingly (stacked?). The colours are good but the image quality lets it down.
I hope I can live with as little as possible of " the science of medicine" thank you... everytime they mention some new wonder drug, the side effects are enough to keep me away. (not to mention the unkown side effects). cool macro though.
An interesting beginning of a photograph, with a little more time, I feel this could develop into a really interesting shot (which is also more representative of the title)
